So, I had put money into savings (~$40k) a few weeks back. I know timing the market isn’t good and stuff, but would it make sense to put some of that into an ETF now? The $40k isn’t part of my emergency fund or anything. I just didn’t know where to park the money.

I’d wait…we’re starting downward trend…Right now we’re looking at the nasdaq potentially free falling. The west on the brink of another proxy war with Russia, and the fed threading rate increases.

Yes it’s a discount now, but could be more so in the coming weeks / months.

I’d also sincerely looking at putting 1-3% in crypto likely Etherium for extra alpha. But it is extremely volatile, and similarly would wait for a confirmation of a bottom.

I would suggest to dollar cash average across this year with index funds like VOO and VTI. Like 3k to 4 k each month and you can put additional money if the market drops by 5 to 10 percent each time. Long term you will be great but this is a choppy year with much more downside than upside so don’t put your money in all at once and limit your returns, be patient and spread it across the year.

I would suggest, investing 10k each week for the next 4 weeks into S&P 500 ETF.
If you like to YOLO(very risky) then split 50% in to BTC and 50% into ETH

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
