Depends what we're talking about. Small correction incoming any day now, completely agree. Big one > 10%, might wait a while.
Very safe place to park some cash

Not an expert, but I would think there is some kind of structured product theme based around economically advantaged hedges for the supermajors.
You buy the big dividend stocks or a basket of them, and then hedge the risk with energy futures. The div is very high, and since you are hedging with energy derivatives on a correlation basis, the hedge is inexpensive to carry.
Maybe one of you quant jocks can poke some holes in that idea.

Lol 3 or 4 percent? That's 2 percent less than long term equity returns. You should be happy if you only lose inflation. Park it in a well capitalized bank. Period.

Buying a home at 600k or 700k that should only be worth 400k?not a great investment in my book. Either you bought a long time ago or you overpay.
The psychologically hardest investment right now but probably the only one that will make money over the next 10 years.
Try scaling in slowly & carefully to bear ETFs. Euphoria/sentiment is higher than 1999, when all the buyers are in then look out below.
Rydex Ratio, “or the measure of Rydex traders’ assets in bear funds and money market funds relative to their assets in bull funds and sector funds.” As of last week, this ratio fell to its lowest level on record. In other words, these traders are now positioned more aggressively bullish than ever before, including the heady days of the dotcom mania 20 years ago.
I think 3% can be achieved with a low cost leaps collar strategy on some high dividend stock. This is if the dividend doesn't get trimmed much during the year and the cost of the collar is about 3% less than the yeld.
Someone mentioned Sunoco, I remember looking at payoff of XOM collar to trap some dividend.
I haven't done it myself as I aim for more than 5%, but please let me know if I am off with fairies.

The parabolic rally into September might have just been the first leg.
true - it was the first leg for the move the Russell 2000 made which was the largest in it's history - it was long over due since it lagged the NDX100 for many years.
