The key difference is that by drip feeding you are missing out on some income than if you invested lump sum.

You also miss out on some of the nervious nellie private investor emotions?0 -
What I've decided to do is invest it all at once. The reason I've chosen to do this instead of drip feeding as some have recommended is it's going to be invested for 10 years or more and I just want to forget about it and I've been told the stock goes up and down but in the long term only goes up, so I might catch a bit of a crash but it will go back up again.
That's god enough for me.
Thanks a million for all your help though.0 -
As long you wont panic and sell if we hit another downturn soon, fine.
But too many do.0
