They break down historical data showing why investing a lump sum typically beats dollar-cost averaging and why market highs are more normal than you think. Plus, a deep dive into the lawsuit against Pacific Life involving indexed universal life insurance, career plateau advice with Julie Bauke, and a cautionary tale about meme stocks.
