Hello everyone,
I'm 19 years old part time working and full time student if that helps with any context.
I finalized the opening of my Roth IRA this week and chose the 2065 Vanguard Target Date fund to invest in, as I want to leave it alone for now. I started at $2000 and it's now down to $1970. I fully understand this is normal and nothing to be worried about; however, for the future is there any value in trying to choose better times to invest? I probably would've been better off putting the 2k in today for example, then on Tuesday when I chose to do it. I understand its bad to try to time the market long term, but will trying short term (like across a couple of days I probably could've used the Fed interest rate news to understand waiting may have helped)
I don't know. A lot of this is new to me so it's interesting to think about.
Thanks for the help!
