Re: Getting off the sidelines

Let me fill in the gaps I created. I had a paid advisor put me in a undiversified position. 2008 hit me worse than most. My business(7 partners) needed capital so I stepped in as the bank and received 5% over 5 years. The loan is repaid and I have been sitting on the cash.

So I have the stock purchased by the advisor which has gained but still down overall and 300K in cash. The shark attack I suffered got me away from the fundamentals and I want to return. I am mid 40's and still make a good salary.

Thanks for the ideas.

Getting off the sidelines

I have a few individual stocks and a bunch of cash. Instead of jumping in with two feet at an all time high are there any suggestions on how to get into a well-planned, diversified, index fund portfolio?
My allocation is well research but I do not know if I should dollar cost average over several months or what?
