Vik, thanks for the info. Just what I was looking for - especially the jcollins articles on dollar cost averaging. From that I learned that dollar cost averaging loses out 2/3 of the time. This actually helps me in my decision. I'll take a 1/3 chance on DCA based on current market setup. I'm 1/3 invested so I won't completely miss on the upside.
Thanks again for the very useful information.
Any other thoughts out there on my proposed asset allocation? Canadian financial companies and websites are recommending some pretty high asset allocations to canadian stocks and bonds (40-80%). No-one in the US would do that. So provided I can get etfs that hedge currency risk, why wouldn't I have a more diversified portfolio?
Proposed:
40% US, 30% International, 10% Canadian, 5% Emerging, 5% small cap, 10% Cash
I'd use various etf and mutual funds depending on the type of account.
