I know we’re against timing the market, but I gotta ask
I am a boglehead, fully believe in this sub’s principles (broad diversified in low cost funds, time in market > timing market, have VTI/VXUS at global weight, max 401k, Roth, etc.)
That said, I have a lump sum just transferred to my brokerage acct Friday evening.
I noticed the fed has a meeting coming up this week.
Is there any harm in waiting till that meeting since the chances are that interest rates will be raised, which means the market may be down that day?
I’m not touching this money for 30 years, so in the grand scheme even this question is a bit pointless.
But if I can get a tiny deal by having a couple days of patience, shouldn’t I wait?
