<prompt> Human: I plan on buying a house in a year or so and I took this market rally as an opportunity to reduce my market exposure. I just sold roughly 200k of my 250k after-tax portfolio. I would love to hear some opinions on what makes sense to do with that cash for the next year.  <response>: If that money is for the house, just put it in a savings account. A 1 savings account at an online bank will get you 2000 per year in interest on your balance of 200000.If this money is not for the house, I have no idea why you did this.
