I used to hold a lot of cash along with a smaller stock portfolio. The reason was that I was looking at land and could not afford to have a large sum in stocks that was depressed at the same time the land prices were down. So I kept cash. I took a beating on it also. Watched my stocks grow steadily over the long term while the banks paid me next to nothing on my cash holdings. I prefer stocks held for long term investment. I hold a lot of different companies, all picked by me without recommendation from anyone. I looked at a broad group and picked from many different industries without going heavy into any one...diversified. Max into any one stock was $2000. Some of these are worth tens of thousands now from dividend reinvestment, splits, etc. I have been doing peoples taxes long enough to have seen the years when mutual funds were smoking hot and then again the years where many of them closed their doors and we wrote them off. They are not a guaranteed win. I would never buy a stock based on someone's opinion. I come up with my own. The only recommendation I would make is to not keep currency type cash in a box. Too easily stolen and it goes down in value every year it is in there.
