Thoughts on putting entire bonus into investment fund late in the cycle?

Obviously this question depends on your individual circumstances but curious to hear what others do. 2nd year analyst with no debt and a modest investment portfolio looking to grow it. Don’t need my bonus to stay liquid so figured why not invest it. Assuming I’m in this for the long run does it matter where we are in the cycle?
