If you had one million dollars in cash right now, how would you invest? Put everything in market at once, or DCA? If DCA, then over how much time?

My guess is I’d put in around 300k or so immediately over the course of 2-3 days. Then pick my spots over the course of the next 3-4 months for the next 600k. And leave myself 100k on the sidelines.

I’d do the same with the 300k but dca the remainder over the next year or two

Is there any realistic way where tipping in the US goes away and we start to be like other countries (e.g. Europe/Asia)? Raise the price of the food, pay servers a fair wage, no tips? Just a dream 😅

I'm guessing no because businesses will fight hard against this (customers subsidize wages) and certain servers benefit from tipping as well.

Only other thing I can think of is if everyone collectively decides not to ever tip again and it forces business to change. Won't happen though.
