I dont think the fact that AMC is up over 50% in the last 30 days is being talked about enough here.

My fat bag of 67 shares at 13.32. Not sure what that works out to.

Out of curiosity, where would you put your emergency fund? I have money set in an HSA to cover any medical emergency, but want to have another 5-10k set aside for any other emergency that might pop up. Would be nice to get some return on it over sitting in a savings account.

Savings Account.

You don't want that kind of thing having stock exposure. If you insist on sticking it in an investment account, I wouldn't go any narrower than SPY.

Potentially you could look into a bond fund. VBTLX is Vanguard's Bond Index Fund. Bonds could potentially be a play, they're not going to get much lower, as interest pretty much cannot get lower, and if interest rates rise, so should it.

Still, Savings Account.

Yup, same advice you’ll get from me. Needs to be super safe and accessible at ANY time without risk of declining value.

I have 6 months (some say this excessive) of expenses sitting in emergency savings. Came in handy this year when we could pay in cash an unexpected need of getting a new roof and AC units. Working on building it back up now too.

It’s boring in a savings account but it’s for emergencies, play it safe.

Meh.

Inflation is too high for your money to wither away in a savings account. Emergencies are what credit cards are for. You can always liquidate and pay the card off before interest hits.
