I prefer a layered approach - some investments take longer than others to cash out. And some are in between but still provide some return. A ton of cash on hand is probably a bad idea

Even Warren Buffet always keeps at least something like a fifth of his investments in cash. Otherwise how the hell are you going to buy low?

Should be noted that a significant portion of Berkshire Hathaway's usual cash pile is not for deal making, but as a backstop for their large insurance portfolio.
