I’ve been making my regular monthly VTI buys, but also sitting on about $80k in cash that I was planning to invest. Split it up over the next few months to DCA it as well or try to time it for a larger dip?

I personally would invest it all tomorrow. Second choice would be fix a DCA schedule and stick with it. Last choice would be to try and guess when you will have a larger dip
