I’m holding off on investing more right now (not selling existing positions though) but wondering if I should bump up my retirement contributions and just hold on for the DCA ride there. Currently maxing Roth IRA, and contributing about 75% of max to 401K. Orrr stay as is and don’t buy more of anything. Thoughts?
