I know very little about investing but I have been reading up on these quite a bit but i thought it might not be a bad idea to get some insight from the experienced docs on here.
What advice would you give a 35 year old doc who likely has a 10-20 year career ahead of him if he was ready to invest anywhere from 100k-1mil provided he has a 1 year emergency fund already set. I obviously being a relatively new grad don't even have the lower end of that range but am trying to understand if that really changes the investment equation as in sure if you have 100-200k just dump into the index fund vs if you have much more than that is too risky.
Can you go wrong throwing all your money at 35 yo in the vanguard total market index fund with that range of money above and leaving it alone even though this is an aggressive move going 100% in? I know timing the market might sound silly but maybe one would wait for a slight correct of 5-10% before jumping the gun?
Any insight appreciated.
