Seriously, maybe 5 pesos into bonds or a REIT and 5 more pesos in your large cap fund or a S+P 500 index fund.


thanks for input ... already good with treasury and muni's on the bond side.

S+P 500 is up 8% for the last ten years. That ain't good. I kinda thinkin it's glory years are behind it for a while.

Now, they're might be serious growth potential in Mexican Hookers.

I plan on buying as much stock as I can over the next few months in various companies. I suggest you do the same. Or at least move into an index fund of some sort.

You read too much in my first post. You seem to assume I don't currently have a stock portfolio. Wrong assumption. I'm looking for some diversification. Approximately 75% of my financial (non-real estate) assets are in equities.
Thanks for the advice.

This depends on what your plans are for the cash.

If you want it to be immediately available for use, put it in a money market account.

If you're willing to give up a small amount of liquidity and take on a little more risk for higher returns, put it in a short term corporate bond fund.
