I have around 80k in cash ready to deploy. What's the best way to do this? Ive heard DCA is a good strategy but how far out should I DCA? 1k every week? 2k? More?

$1k a month for next 80 weeks seems excessive. Remember that over a longer time span in the market (anything >18 months if I remember correctly) DCA returns are lower than lump sum investing. Given you suggested a strategy that takes longer than that to implement, I’m assuming this is investing for at least a few years.

With that said, given the last week, I think I’d invest $20k every two weeks starting in about a week.

Probs more now because we are in a dip, but agree DCA is a good strategy

This is a hard question at the moment with the market tanking pretty hard. If it’s retirement money and your timeline is long (say >10 years) you’re probably ok jamming it all in now (or maybe spread over the next few weeks).

If it’s money you’ll need sooner, I’d take a more cautious approach - maybe ease into a conservative mix of equities/ fixed income over the next 3-4 months.

Thanks for the replies everyone. You are correct in assuming it's money for at least a few years, if not over 20 years. I'm 26 right now.

I'm definitely planning to deploy the money during this correction (or recession if it comes to it).

They could have told the same when they ask for salary expectations. I feel something fishy.
