Have about 100k in cash, wanted to get into market. Any recommendations on One time buy vs dollar cost average? If DCA, what’s recommended schedule- weekly or monthly?

Age old question, lot of research arguing both sides. I’m currently doing DCA monthly over 6months to invest my cash of similar size. You could also just DCA US equities and lump sum other asset classes if worried about the US overvaluation

I had 100000 last Oct, bought MSFT SPCE and DDOG lumpsum 50k, 20k, 10k. Other 20k DCAed in FIVG VGT VTI. Already at 30%. Go lumpsum and DCA I would say!

I mean 30% profit meaning 30k

I’m also thinking about doing the same but I’m getting scared as the market keeps inching up. Maybe combo of lump sum + DCA makes sense but kind of waiting for ~10% correction. Sitting on $230k

FL peoples: I signed a lease for a new place to start May 1 as my current landlord sold the unit I'm in. Turns out, the buyer wants to keep renting the unit and asked if I want to stay. Of course I want to stay. My new lease hasn't started so I'm pretty sure I can easily back out. For the new lease, I'm still pending full approval from a condo association as I have to do an in person interview. I have paid first months rent in advance. Is there anyway to get that money back?

I am a traditional reservist so I never really used military benefits before, but could use advice here.

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?

All my six-figure salary consultant friends are ranting about how poor they feel right now because their IRAs/portfolios are down.

Sad to see
