re: If I start investing would it be better to dump a bunch of money all at once

Better to dump a large sum in on the front-end. Since you are just starting with investing, then investing in increments might not be a bad thing to do as you learn more about what you're investing in. It helped me early on to invest smaller amounts to break the ice and settle my nerves. There's enough doom and gloom on the internet/media to make you believe you'll lose all your money the day after you invest it. You might be more comfortable with spending in increments of $500 - $1000 at a time instead of $15,000 all at once.

I asked this question and someone said GE and don't look back. It would of been a disaster over the last 25 yrs.
Find a 4 star Vanguard fund and put all now and something every month. Do both!

When I was eligible to invest in a Roth I put the whole allowable limit for the year in every January with mixed outcomes. Usually happy with what I bought but wished I had more bullets in the gun to makes moves later without selling stuff.
Now I do the DCA method with accounts and I buy new positions in increments.
It’s sometimes contrary to logic in the sense you think whatever you are buying will only go up in value later or why would you buy it?
