Here’s one idea: get a loan and use money to max your 401K or IRA contribution for 2019 or 2020.

Pretty sure the no interests push’s are only for buying a primary residence.

With DOW returning to >23K, there’s a major chance that the stock market will drop more significantly over nest 3-12 months. If I repay the loan over next 12-24 months, I may be able to lock in losses, but rebuy my positions for even lower price down the road. Does this thinking make sense?

Hey friends. My wife and I are looking to start investing in the market outside of our 401ks, hsa etc. We opened a Charles Schwab brokerage account and planning to transfer 2-3k/mo.

Thinking of splitting evenly across large, mid, small caps, and growth, value funds using DCA.
