Acailable cash in my 401k

I have about $40k that I've been holding for a market correction. Now that the blue wave hit I'm looking for a place to park it. Any stocks I should take a look at?

If I was longer than 3-5 years from retirement, park it in S&P 500 Index (eg, VOO), and let your future wealthy self rejoice. I would also be feeding that fund regularly and automatically.

So you held money without having a plan for it? Bold strategy.
How do you know the correction is over? Why not wait until December when rates go up and markets move down again? What’s your crystal ball say about all that?
Why not just DCA into low cost ETFs?

Better to lump sum it now and stop trying to time market. DCA in future as the investable $ comes in and buy through ups and downs.
Curious, how long you had this "dry powder" sitting idle and if market is actually down over that time

1. I am not sure what you mean here.
2. Historically the 6 months after the midterms have been a really good time in the market.
3. We are all betting that the stock market will keep going up over the long haul. I figure that if it doesn't, I will have bigger fish to fry than worrying about investments.
4. Safe bet would be low cost broad based index funds.

Keep an eye on your opportunity cost (what return did you forego in that move to cash)?
If you have more than 3-5 years to retirement, I would not play short term timing of the market in 401k. Cost/Benefit statistically does not pay over long term.

This right here is a good summary of the mindset of just about everyone in today’s market. There’s hardly anyone left who has experienced a big prolonged downturn or even multiple years of no gains.
