I'll make a start with a smallish US buy next month and take another look at Monevator for some further tips.Cerridwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09113285657493048091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336434292024806907.post-33194586019083558632014-10-01T13:14:08.722+01:002014-10-01T13:14:08.722+01:00Hi Cerridwen, Great that the transfer finally took...Hi Cerridwen, Great that the transfer finally took place and that you are able to start rebalancing your portfolio. I'm with DivHut, rather than shun the US entirely, perhaps set up the small regular payments that you have for other investments to start off with? A couple of the funds I invest in consist almost entirely of US companies (they fall under the 'Developed World' section of my portfolio), so I guess I could be buying high there too but I'd prefer that to the market timing trap.<br /><br />Didn't Monevator post a few links on how to invest lump sums cautiously - ie instead of putting the full £5k into a US tracker, adopt one of the strategies that he mentioned to average down?weeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01602950445306813601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7336434292024806907.post-69883713906144686552014-09-30T18:15:43.721+01:002014-09-30T18:15:43.721+01:00While prices are high in the U.S. you have to be c...While prices are high in the U.S. you have to be careful not to fall into the market timing trap as you mention. In these times it's best to nibble on stocks instead of gorge. This way you can always average down should you experience a dramatic price decrease in your holdings. Thanks for sharing your recent update with us. Keep up the good work.DivHuthttp://divhut.comnoreply@blogger.com
