I’ve got $50,000 in cash now out of a $1.5 million portfolio. I don’t really need more cash than that on hand due to income.
I did sell about $20,000 in stocks two weeks ago to cash out some. Glad I did as those dropped such as OKLO.

I'm at about 30% right now. Almost nothing in straight up cash though.

I said I'd come back to answer this. As of today, some of the cash is starting to get moved back out to investments. The cash % heading into today was 24% in the accounts under this advisor. Not sure how fast the spending will go. I haven't asked for details. Only 1% has been moved back so far.

About 1/3rd but I am planning to use it in the next two years to buy a house. I'm very happy it's in a Money Market right now.
The remaining 2/3 is for retirement which is still decades away.

All in, about 10% cash, about 15% equity in the main home and 75% equities.
(ETA: I just did the above, off the cuff - but I ran it with a calculator, I was 2% off on equities -

very large percentage
going to be buying a house soon and going above 20% to get a reasonable monthly payment due to the shite show that has happened the past 5 years.

15%. I’m retired and that was my strategy in this preservation and passive income phase of my life. The interest earned annually allows me to reinvest all of the dividends as a long-term inflation hedge inflation.
I will probably increase that percentage in three years when RMD’s are required. My goal is to add $60k in interest to my pension and SS and not touch my market investments other than the required RMD’s.

Just curious, how old are you?
If you are not over 65, you are making a horrible mistake not keeping your money in markets

8.5%, mostly in a HYSA.
I’ve got some large home expenses coming up that I need to pay for so that’s the reason for it being this high.

Not bad for a “safe” gambler — those ROY and Spain bets are solid plays. You’re doing it smarter than most parlay junkies I know. If you’re ever looking to stretch your bankroll even more, I stumbled on some $3 deposit casinos that make low-stakes fun feel high-stakes: https://icasinoreviews.co.nz/3-dollar-deposit-casinos/ — great for testing luck without sweating the rent ??

SPY is flat since the election. At least CLIP will pay you 4+%

21.55%
I sold some stock early in the year, so that’s probably double what it’s usually been. Right now I have a few ETF I put a weekly amount in and dollar cost average from that account.

I freed up 10% selling my PLTR, in case opportunities presented themselves. Then FOMO’d UNH…and subsequently doubled down on HUM. So, like and subscribe for more pro tips.
