Investing Extra Cash
« on: June 30, 2021, 08:51:19 AM »
What's advise of investing extra cash ~$50k ? IRA? Brokerage account? High 30', Tax Bracket 24%
What if I need to use that money in about 6 months? How to avoid the Capital Gain Tax (Assuming a gain from investment during the next 6 months)?

Thanks

Need the money soon (<3 years) -> cash or cash equivalents

Avoid capital gains tax? You don't

Yeah, if need the cash in 6 months then just dump it in a savings account / 3 month CD / short term treasuries

You'll pay tax on the interest (which won't be substantial)
