I saved around 120k in 2 years working with Amazon right after grad school. 100k cash and 20k in stocks. What should be my strategy to invest ? I didnt make too much profit on stocks unfortunately.

Titan seems a good place for investment and education.

High yield savings. You can thank me later

I put money in discover savings. 2% return. Is that what you are talking about?

Oath Atinlay2 Jul 20, 2019

That’s a good start, yes. I’d leave it there while you learn more about investing and can do it with an educated background.

As you are young I would recommend to build a good dividend portfolio for next 5 years and after 10 years all you'll have is free money from dividends covering all your expenses.

How do I know , which stock yeild dividend

U need to do some research. Usually vangard index funds are safe with 2 to 3% yields. Note: Higher the yield Higher the risk. So, do your research and pick the index funds or stocks.

I'd put it in a Schwab SIP account

Depends on your withdrawal timeline. Are you looking to buy a house or make any other major purchases in the next <4 years with the savings? If so, your safest bet is high yield savings and CDs. If not, index funds are your friend. Vanguard/Schwab/etc are pretty popular but you can also trade ETFs free via Robinhood if you’re more motivated by their platform. You should also be maxing your IRA and investing heavily into 401ks (Traditional and Roth - it’s a crapshoot between the two honestly, so diversify). Typically those accounts offer target date funds which will adjust your portfolio based on your expected retirement date. If you want to be more hands-on, look into companies you believe in that you think have high potential for upside and invest in them. I’ve heard the recommendation a few times to pick 5-10 companies (few enough that you can keep up with all of them) you believe in and invest in those. Only you can determine your level of risk tolerance and how much you’re willing to allocate. I’d generally recommend earmarking at least 20% for retirement (more if you want to retire early) and split the rest however you want. Of what’s left after retirement I generally send 30% to the few companies I picked and 70% into various index funds - some total market and some sector funds (e.g. tech sector, utilities, healthcare, etc)

Right now it’s WealthFront’s cash account with 2.5%+ interests

Microsoft kjskshs Jul 20, 2019

No i dont want to invest. Investment is risky enough for me. I m looking at CDs which gives me highest returns and no risk at all

Even with CDs, after taxes, you can’t beat inflation, which is 2-3%. The only way to beat inflation and make your money worth more in the future is to invest it. Investment is bot risky, you can dollar-cost-average into the market over a period of time. Short-term investments will result in losing your money’s worth. Read the article above very carefully.
