Savings, where to invest?

Hello All,

I’m getting a base of $100K and bonus ~$15K in SF (~$80K after tax).  Getting 401K match up to 6%.

Estimated I could save $32.5K. After I do max contributions to 401K, Roth IRA and HSA I have ~$11K left to invest. Where do I put it? Just an individual stock account or should I do something different? 

Thanks

Do you have 6 months expenses saved up? If not put that in a hy savings account first. Do you have any compliance restrictions? If no then make a portfolio that pleases you. If you do have restrictions stick to broad market etfs like voo, assuming you don’t have etf restrictions either. Even if you don’t have restrictions the safe move would be to stick to etfs anyway.
