I have 2 investment avenues. One is stocks/metals(mostly ETF) which I favor over a stocks/bonds mix. This is "retirement" (not 401K) and I mostly leave it untouched.

My active trading account was -much- more active during COVID with specific strategies that took advantage of trends during the global pandemic. It's purpose wasn't to help fund cards, but it did make some purchases no-brainers since the money leaving didn't matter as much as it might have. I know a good amount of collectors that bought into cards beyond what they thought they would because of help from the COVID-juiced stock market, even with rising prices on cards.

My plays in the market rely heavily on normal or easily predictable conditions. Even in non-normal times I've managed to find predictable investments, but what's going on right now for the past month...maybe some people have a predictable/safe path...not me, not even a clue.

My spare investment money has been sitting in a savings account paying 4%-ish for most of 2025 (currently 3.9%).
