I had about $90k of calls on IWM assigned recently and it now added that cash to a pool of money I’ve been holding. Yesterday’s market meltdown gave me hope that I could maybe deploy some of that cash into investments but lost that opportunity with today’s crazy rebound.
Gold, silver, small caps, tech, S&P are all going through the roof. Even digital currencies are rallying. Meanwhile, the only thing seemingly crashing out there in some parts of the country is real estate but I’m not so sure I want to get back into property rentals given everything else happening in the economy.
Even my new collar and put ratio apps are struggling to find bargains out there that make sense for me and my investment strategy. The bond market has been moving in the wrong direction with yields going up.
The current rate is 3.34% on Fidelity cash, not great but what else am I to do?
I asked AI and I didn’t like any of the answers it gave but essentially recommended bonds, stocks, or digital currencies dependent on my risk appetite.
Ultimately, I think I may buy more municipal bond ETFs for tax free income in the short term.
The winter snow storms and other geo-political risks may make energy a good play over 2026 and I have also started some positions in this sector but I already carry oil & gas stocks in my portfolio for the long haul.
