I have a fairly large sum of money sitting in MoneyMarket accounts (from a 401K rollover). Its about 25% of our current retirement value. I am about 10-15 years from retirement

Very hesitant about buying into the market where most 4* and 5* funds are near the 52 week high.

Yes i could invest it in index funds and call it a day.
I could wait for the next mini crash, and buy in
But I was curious if there are any Mutual funds out there that are pretty decent over a 10 year period, but are having an exceptionally bad year, so are cheap? Is that a unicorn?

Have access to Schwab, Fidelity, Vanguard, TRPrice tools.
Are there any good mutual fund screeners?
What should i look for?

With that type of time horizon it won't make that big of a difference but if it makes you more comfortable you can break it up into multiple investment and spread them out over the next 3-6 months.

Unless you get lucky and can time a major down turn you will drive yourseld crazy trying to figure out when to buy in and even if you miss the dump and buy in too high you have plenty of time to recover before you need it.

I know a guy who did a 401k rollover last December and it came over as cash and he has been waiting since then for the dip to rebuy.

above is the better answer, but technically IWM is still at 2021 values

I'd for sure wait until after election. Market is extremely overvalued.

ET or EPD. 7%+ dividend, stable passive income NO MATTER WHAT THE MARKET DOES.

Look at other dividend growth companies to build a passive income stream.

I'm a fan of YMAX at the moment. Been in the $17 range since August. Pays weekly dividends (recent shift from monthly), 21, 22 cents / share so far.

If it's "cheap" right now…why would it be considered "great"?

AQR has a long/short fund that might isolate you from some exposure to a market trading at elevated levels

You can always divide the amount by 24 months and cede the money into the ETF you like over time vs shoving it all in at the all time high.

If we do hit a recession, then you buy on the cheap, if not...oh well.

Also a major problem with trying to time the dip is when the dip comes do you have the stones to buy in or do you think the other shoe is going to drop and wait for the bigger dip. I.e. we dipped pretty hard going into august and most people thought more pain was coming

QQQ/QQQM is still off its highs, and likewise semis (SMH and SOXX) are still down a bit too.

If OP had put an order in for VFIAX the first trading day after his post he would be up ~3% on that position today

Conceptually, I like these, as opposed to their more famous counterparts:

SPYV vs. SPY. Basically a value-oriented allocation within the S&P 500. Yields about double the dividend historically.

QQQE vs. QQQ. Equal-weight version of the QQQ index. Once again, pays about double the dividend yield, and in theory captures some smaller-cap appreciation potential versus the massive overweighting and dependence on the biggest QQQ holdings.

I did buy the QQQE a decade ago, but have never held SPYV. These are thought-starter ideas for research only - not recommendations.

RSP is one I just started accumulating. S&P 500 equal-weight.

With how overvalued some people believe the tech industry is at the moment, it's a slightly safer choice than just SPY.
