I would invest 100% of my savings in stocks. Keep minimum cash and no bonds or other investments.I would do:* 85% in diversified ETFs under a “buy and hold” (never sell) approach.* 15% in diversified ETFs under a “market timing” approach.Follow my indicators and buy and sell for mid-term (4 to 12 months) market moves.The 85% “buy and hold” ETFs would be a mixture of:* High dividend ETFs like VYM, SDY, DGRO, TDIC, etc. (60% of the 85%). Dividends would be re-invested into the ETF.* Broad market ETFs like SPY (S&P 500) and QQQ (Nasdaq) (40% of the 85%).The 15% “market timing” ETFs would be leveraged ETFs like QLD (2X the NASDAQ) and SSO (2X the S&P 500).* Use stop losses to limit trading losses.* Learn and improve over time.
