[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=TwistdMike]Google Dave Ramsey and listen to his advices regarding inheritances, taxes, rollovers. He also has trusted advisors in your area listed on his web site, might be a good choice in this case.[/quote] Do not do this! His trusted advsiers charge very high fees. Stick with Total Stock market like you were thinking. I think Vanguard has a study that shows 2/3 of the time a lump sum contribution will outperform dollar cost average. That won’t matter if you wind up being one of the poor souls who lump sums in and the market declines. It IS just psychological, but [b]if dollar cost averaging will help you commit to getting the money invested, than that is what you should do.[/b] [/quote] +1 OP just pick a time period (6 months, a year, 18 months) and dollar-cost average the money in over that period. Nothing to it but to do it.[/quote]
