I tried posting this on the personalfinance sub but the mods deleted it
I just inherited $250,000 and want to invest in my Vanguard account. Should I wait though, considering the current market? The market has dropped \~5% in the last week and it may go lower.
Considering that I don't need the money until retirement (I'm 42), should I just go ahead and invest it in a lump sum? Or maybe DCA over the next year? Or maybe something in between?
Thanks for your time.
Edit: I'm not really an investor, just a long term buy and hold index funds kinda guy
