How to Invest $10,000 Right Now
Four experts point to the best opportunities for those with cash to invest.
In a hot stock market, there’s value in keeping a cool head.
With meme stocks in headlines again and the biggest 10 stocks in the S&P 500 making up a record 35% of the index, Bloomberg turned to four money managers and wealth advisers for timely ideas on where to invest.
The experts pointed to attractive opportunities in short-term Treasuries to provide ballast in one’s portfolio; in defense and industrial stocks, which are set to benefit from a global need for more capital expenditures; and in information technology services companies as an AI-adjacent play.
When the investors were asked how they’d deploy $10,000 on a personal interest, assuming all charitable donations had been made, answers ranged from investing in collectible Lego sets, a trip to watch the America’s Cup in Spain and an investment in battery storage and solar panels at a rural California getaway.
To invest in the investor’s themes using exchange-traded funds, Andre Yapp, Bloomberg Intelligence ETF research associate, points to ETFs that can act as rough proxies.
