Hypothetical - generally if you have a need for a large sum of cash in ~3-5 years, it’s best to keep it in a HYSA. If longer time horizon, put it in the market so it can grow. (Assuming regular contributions/DCA in both scenarios) If you go the market direction, at what point do you pull it out of the market and back into an HYSA ahead of the purchase? 1 year out? 2 years out? Day of the sale?

Thoughts?

Landed my first decent paying job at 28, saving approximately $5k a month. Suggestions for where to invest that to maximise returns but not have it tied up for too long (as I want to ideally pull it out to invest in a property in about 12-16 months once interest rates calm down)? Considering DCA into US ETFs and putting some into non-US sovereign bonds. Open to suggestions and thoughts please.

Bought a lot of ETH when it was higher and suffering now. Plan is to HODL, but should I be buying more ETH now to lower my breakeven / DCA or just sit on what I have ?

it’s all savings/investing cash so ‘affordable’ in that sense, but I’ve already got more in crypto than I initially wanted. Really I want to know if lowering the overall cost by DCA investing another 25% of current holding is a good idea or just let sleeping dogs lie? I suppose the assumption being that the price does go back up.

I just got 25k from my bonus and want to invest it. My portfolio is pretty much 80% VOO right now. Should I put this $25k into VOO too? How are we all feeling about VOO medium and short term?

ADVICE FOR RETENTION.

Hi Fishes,
My LWD is on Oct3rd.DCA qualified. I only work in excel sheets here and 50% sal dependent on band. So, I resigned. I have an offer of 12 from Accenture. My CCTC is 8.5lpa. manager saying that they will change the clause, from incentive to fixed component. But won't give any hike. And since I have 2 A-bands, I will be promoted in Jan cycle to ITA, so another 20% hike
So he told me to let him know about my decision.

Should I stay or leave?

Newbie investor asked me a question, they have $5k to invest and were wondering if they should put it in an index fund (S&P500 - which is what I’d normally recommend plus DCA thereafter) or if they should buy AMZN given that it is well off of its highs, is a solid company and would, in 12-18 months, likely grow faster than the S&P, as interest rates normalize over that time period, etc. That got me thinking… so I’m asking all of you, what would you do/recommend?

Does anyone feel like the stock market with 401k/IRA is a herd mentality of everyone contributing for people to take out money when they’re older similar to social security at this point? And those of us participating are minimizing gains vs. individual stocks because we’re waiting on basically more people to contribute to the funds every month and to stay in the funds?

I just don’t understand the downswings on these 401k funds so significantly if everyone is DCA someone is selling.
