Hi Everyone, hope you all are well,

I recently sold my house and have some money to 'buy and hold" in the stock market.

which is the best way to go about this?

I am thinking I should invest 5% in an s&P 500 index now (the market has fallen 30% off it's all time high) and then an additional 5% every month until the money is fully invested into the market (about 20 months total).

of course, there is also the option of dumping it all into an S&P index when I feel I am getting a good bargain or maybe a combo of this and the aforementioned strategy?

I realize Stock investing is not the same as my KO Blackjack. Sometimes, however there are some good advisors here

thanks!
