General Discussion

How soon do you need the money you want to invest? If soon, you could look at short-term CDs or money-market fund. Longer-term, you might consider a global bond fund until the economy/markets stabilize (after PEDOnald is gone), then maybe get back into equities.

If you don't want to take the risk of stocks, you could park money in a short- or medium-duration bond fund, meaning a duration of less than five years. To get a better idea what I mean, look up the definition of "duration"--it's more complicated than I want to explain here.
