[quote=Anonymous]If you're doing three fund you might want to consider putting a portion of your bond holdings into I bonds rather than a fund. It'll be more tax efficient and won't lose money in the near term. Also, if you don't need the money at any point in the near future, definitely have a gander at this: http://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Principles_of_tax-efficient_fund_placement As far as lump sum investing goes, the rule of the day is "Know thyself". On average, putting it all in at once has provided better returns. If you can look at your investments dispassionately (ie, "I own X number of shares" as opposed to "I have X number of dollars") the lump sum approach is not necessary. If the market dropping 10-20% will keep you up at night with regret, then go ahead and dole it out at reasoned intervals.[/quote]
