Is now a good time to invest?

Is now a good time to invest $50,000 into the market using the growth portfolio as a strict base? If so, should I spread my buying over a number of days/weeks, or drop it all in simultaneously?

A number of stocks in the portfolio seem reasonably priced after the latest market pullback, however a few seem to be fully priced.

A: I think this is a reasonable time.

I am with Charlie Aitken (see last Thursday’s Switzer Super Report) who feels that the market is in a range – 5,000 to 5,400.

I like the approach in theory of buying over a period – you just have to be mindful of transaction costs and have the discipline to complete.
