“I wish I had $150,000…..I would talk to a good financial advisor and invest the lion’s share.”
safe investment would be Schwab’s SNOXX short term fed bond fund yielding 5% ...
Shell stock is yielding a dividend of 4.97% at today’s price of $63.57, plus good likelihood of capital appreciation ...
you won’t get rich investing like that, but you won’t get poor either ...
I use VMFXX—Vanguard’s lowest risk money market fund—it is where they dump your money if you “do nothing”.
I am “doing nothing” and have been earning 5.3% this year.
If that fund fails we are in TEOTAWKI and will probably be eating our neighbors.
Lol.
