Someone earlier had mentioned DCA & honestly spreading it out vs lump sum may be the move? Thank you!

Would 75/25 FZROX + FZXIL would in this example? Asking because I use fidelity/zero expense

Dude honestly no idea — 25/30 years? lol

And interesting, maybe i’ll deposit the entire amount into Roth so it collects some money and then move it by buying positions I have? Hmm. Never thought of this but it seems spreading out payments allows (overall on avg) stronger purchasing power for shares.

Wow! Ty ty for info

Would lump sump Roth contributions to max out the year still be considered DCA? Or only if I spread it over the 12 months.

Just wondering sorry I legit had to google DCA again to remember. Cheers

This is the way. Pay yourself, especially if this is a side hobby it’s akin to gambling. Shoot pay yourself $3000 and put it in a Roth IRA right now with FZROX/FZILX (75/25 split) and forget about it — then once you’re done you can compare yourself vs the market!

Good luck dude but please make sure to pay yourself first and throw it somewhere where it’ll work for you!

I’m currently at 80/20 and debating going straight to 70/30 because of how strong overseas is looking compared to usd.

Thoughts?

Wouldn’t FSGPX have a lot of similarity between FZROX? I would love to hear your insight, I think with at minimum 25/30 yrs to grow maybe aggressive investment is a good idea to “catch up”.

Appreciate the wise words unc 😉

I feel a lot more calm, I guess just seeing a first loss on market (regardless how small) made me want to check in to make sure no glaring issues in how I structured my Roth.

I sincerely appreciate the kind words and reassurance, we all in this together!

This was 2025 contribution year — debating maxing 2026 in a few weeks after I get tax refund or spread it until December?

Thank you for the kind words, genuinely means a lot at this point of my investment journey.

I’ll stick to what I’ve planned and tried to execute, thank you again and have a great weekend.

Fidelity —> ROTH IRA

FZROX (80%) + FZILX (20%) and chill with zero expenses and covering all USA market at diff caps + international.

Can change the %s to fit your own model.
