Long story short - every Friday, I get a deposit in my investing account, and I buy broad ETFs —- QQQ, VOO, VEA etc. Note - This is outside my 401k. 401 is automated so I keep things going there without a single thought.
Should I just keep doing the same? My investment window is literally 30+ years (I’m 25 and have been doing this for 5 years so things have honestly been pretty good).
I know the answer is “Time in the market is always better than timing” but with all the uncertainty, is it almost better to sit on cash (I figure that I continue depositing money into this account) and wait for a few weeks to see what happens? Or ultimately, is this stuff just going to be a little blip by the time I’m 50-60?
All the fundamentals which I’ve learned for 5 years tell me to just stay the course but I also figure, a little bit of critical thinking + strategy ALSO doesn’t hurt — Does this make sense?
thanks!!
