Looking at those index funds you're basically figuring out the concept of a three fund portfolio which they talk about a lot on bogleheads. (Pretty much a standard three fund would be VTIAX, VTSAX, VBTLX) Pretty much once I get a new job (currently unemployed) my plan is little more than max out the 401k and put extra money in a three fund. (Pretty much a long term game but should get reasonable returns over the next 6-9 years.)

Good luck finding them.
You ever heard of this little American EV company? Founded in California and they still have their HQ in Texas today. Their factories are in Fremont, CA and Austin, TX. All domestically sold vehicles are made domestically, with a significant proportion of domestically sourced parts. Also their CEO is a prominent supporter of the new President-elect. You should check them out sometime, might be a good investment next 4 years
HYSA account is typically a lower rate than a money market.
Ya pretty much a given since the fed lowered interest rates by 50 basis points and recently another 25. Next month it's about a 50/50 chance they lower another 25. Depends on how the fed wants to play this with the incoming Trump admin.My High-Yield Savings Account went from 5.0% in August to 4.5% in September to 4.25% in October

Always buy or sell a stock at a specified Limit price (which you decide). This ensures you dont get burned buying/selling at the market price. Stocks with lots of trading shouldnt be a big deal, but you for sure want to do limit transactions for low float stocks. All it takes is some jackass at the wrong time for you buying stock at $1, and you sell at market price which you think is $30. But his bid at that market price timing is $1. So you got burned. This is probably why in pre market and after hours you get some wacky shit people buying and selling at weird low or or high prices. Some guy probably did a market order and got hooped.

A Stop price is when the stock hits that price you specify, so it goes through. So lets say a stock is $80. You can put in a stop order that says if the stock hits $70, you sell. Or it's set at $90 and it sells too. You set a price so you dont sit there all week waiting for it or doing manual orders. The system does it for you when it actually happens.
Limit Order vs. Stop Order: What’s the Difference?
Limit orders and stop orders give stock traders greater control over their transactions in the market. Learn the differences between these order types.www.investopedia.com
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A limit order instructs your broker to fill your buy or sell order at a specific price or better.
- A stop order will activate a market order when a certain price has been met.
- Although stop orders avoid the risks of no fills and partial fills, you may end up with a lower or higher price than you expected.
- A stop-limit order combines the features of both a limit and a stop order.
