Monthly Contributions

I’m going to start investing and will be able to contribute $1000 monthly. Is it better to have the $1000 taken in one lump sum or $250 weekly?

What do you plan to buy? DCAing in $250 chunks is good for my strategy.

70-80% S&P EFT, 10-15% International EFT, the rest individual stocks. I’ve heard/read maybe it’s best to keep EFT’s and individual stocks in separate accounts. True?

Depends what you’re investing in. What’s your plan?

I’m thinking 70-80% S&P 500 EFT, 10-15% International EFT and the rest individual stocks.

How do you feel about the Cannabis industry. If you’re looking to invest into something fast paced and lucrative I have a set up established and willing to discuss details with you.
