I just dropped 11k for 13' and 14' Roth IRA contribution....

I decided to put it all in a money market for now instead of an investment, due to what I feel as the market is relatively close to its peek at 16500. I will not leave it in a money market for long as I do not want to miss out on dividends and compounding. I just did not want to enter at the current market rate, when I feel the market will adjust at some point in the near future to at least below 15000......
Thoughts?

I'm def not the one to be giving advice, but I would look at slowly start buying into funds. Don't go all in, but do 500-1000 every 2-4 weeks, so that you are dollar cost averaging.
The market might not go down to 15k for another year and you will miss out on returns over that time period.

I agree with above poster. I would buy it, over time.

Thanks for input
Trust me, Im hesitant to throw money into the market right now with how high it is, but I've been saying that since October and if I had held out, I would have lost out on a few thousand bucks.
I've got another 5-10k I could throw in right now, but I'm electing to slowly contribute it over time.

Did the same thing back in January. Glad I talked myself into just diving in head first, up 5% since...

I have been on the sidelines in my 401K since December waiting on the "correction". It did go down 5% briefly in January but went right back up. I cant get in now at this level, but the first big down day or two I'm jumping back in. Should never have stopped my steady contributions.
