I have ~$100k in cash that I want to DCA into my brokerage account, primarily in VOO. I want to leave myself open to throwing in a big chunk if the market plunges in the near future, while also making sure I'm not holding onto this cash for too long.

Over what period do you recommend I DCA this money?

I would do 10% bi-weekly or 5% weekly to have a spead across next 5 months and if market drops more than 10%, doubling that amount.

We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?

Lot of fear in the market right now (understandably so). The situation in Ukraine is awful and the potential consequences are scary to think about.

There are some who want to sell in fear of their investments falling further. Do not do this. Hold and continue to buy more. Continue your 401k contributions, and add whatever you can afford after every paycheck into your brokerage. Those who sold the covid crash were often late buying back in.

This is the dip you're worried about.
