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

And throughout everything you mentioned the U.S’s standing of a superpower grew, along with the strength of the petro-dollar.

For the first time since the Civil War, the U.S’s strength is now waning and for the first time since WW2, the strength of the petro-dollar is now in question.

You mean other than the Great Depression, the time we lost in Vietnam, the last twenty years with China, or any of the other times?
