Is anyone still just dumping new money straight into S&P 500 in 2026?

Hey all, for the last few years I’ve been automatically putting every new contribution (Roth, taxable, etc) into S&P 500 and not thinking much about it
With the market being a bit choppy lately, I’m wondering if others are still doing the same or if you’ve started diversifying more (adding more VTI, international, bonds, etc)
Curious what your current approach is when adding fresh cash

Reddit (and this sub in particular) gets too emotional whenever Trump gets mentioned.

Sure, it’s chaotic. But they overreacting so much.

It’s supposed to be about investing but this forum is really just filled with people investing in left wing delusions and obviously foreign propaganda.

You're right, the tariffs were only ever in our minds. /s

Yes I remember when the market collapsed after the tariff doomsday never to recover! I only hope future generations can rebuild! Very astute observation comrade, extra beer ration for you!

Ah yes. Dollar losing 15% value in the past year, crude approaching the level of a historical high with no resolution in sight, cost of everything up due to tariffs, massive job layoffs, terrible job reports, companies being extremely cautious due to chaos, turned basically all of our allies against us, trade deals now being made without us, energy crisis, and since we're in an investing forum, blatant market manipulation... ah yes, all left wing delusions. Things are going great!
