Plan my future investments wisely

I worked with him a few years, then I worked for him a few years, then I worked for someone who worked for him several years. When we first met he for some reason decided to take me under his wing a bit. It was this guy who finally convinced me to get started in the 401K at work. That was a bit of magic to my life. I am so indebted to this guy it isn’t funny.. plus, after he got me started he has always allowed me open access to his thoughts about financial matters. I have always believed what he said unquestioningly. He has been right a bunch. Bottom line is I owe this guy, big.

I am totally lacking in wisdom here. I am such a hodgepodge investor… I have roughly half in conservative mutual funds and they are coming along well now that the market is back to boom boom. The other half and my contributions going forward are into cash reserves…. The yield on cash (roughly zero) is so much better than any investment I have ever made I really need some wisdom! Cash looks like wisdom from my vantage point.
