Currently analyst bonus season. Bonus was rather low but still a good amount relative to other careers. Due to how low it was, I'm just looking to invest all of it. Have been looking at the market but doesn't seem like the best time. Honestly think the market should not be doing well right now, but here we are. Are you guys going to just DCA into the market now or sideline for a bit to wait for a better entry point? Or are you putting the money elsewhere altogether?

“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
DCA into VOO and SPY, keep 20% in dry powder for undervalued opportunities (ex. I scooped up some SCHW and PYPL in May when they tanked, unjustifiably IMO). Keep it simple stupid - time in the market beats timing the market.
I just do that and coinvest on deals open to our office.
Bump. Curious as well.
Buying a watch and drugs
This is the way
Was on the wrong account guys, sorry
You have 2 guesses.
Strippers?
Blow?
Absolutely not! I get my bonus after my birthday which means I've matured and don't do those anymore.
At your age the entry point doesn't matter. Time in the market >>> timing the market and there is a litany of research to prove that. Just put it somewhere safe (SPY) and forget about it
