[quote=Anonymous]My husband's mom passed away, and we received a $330k windfall in the form of her IRA, which now makes up 42% of our non-retirement assets. We are going to take minimum distributions to take advantage of the IRA's tax-deferred status, and he has about 30 years to take distributions. My question is: If you had this money to invest in a broad stock market index (like Vanguard Total Stock Market), would you put it in as a lump sum, dollar cost average it ($10k/week), or not put it in the market right now at all? And why do you think one way of investing should be done over another? Thanks![/quote]
