Ha! My very conundrum.
I’ve decided to phase out of timing the market, and phase into dollar cost averaging. I will probably keep a third or so into my “discretionary” investing, with a third in a SP500 ETF (VOO), and a third in a tech ETF (VGT).
I think TPTB will juice the market between now and election day, more so as we approach November, but that’s just me.
As far as TPTB juicing the market, they may, but if they see that a Trump win is unstoppable, they may push it the other way to say look markets are responding to Trumps lead. Also I am very wary of a black swan event this year which will tank the markets like 9/11, and the 2008 crash.
