General Investing

Is it necessary to constantly (monthly, quarterly, etc.) add money to my investments?

Instead of investing $500 monthly , I decide to invest $2000 one shot into a stock to keep transactional cost at bay.

I am keen on adding more counters to my portfolio, thus would it be recommended for me to NOT add an additional $2000 into the same stock but instead invest it in another stock in the following months? Or should I constantly add to my investments?

Thanks

Dollar cost averaging has it'a critics,

but generally for good discipline it is an acceptable habit.

I manage to save up $25k and will be taking my degree, should i: 1. use it to pay tuition fees? 2. take up student loan (with interest that adds up) and invest this money instead (like REITs/ETFs etc)?

27M- i have 6 months of income stashed away as emergency funds. i also have 6 investments comprising of a range e.g bonds,etf, ilp. i also have money set aside for big expenses like house etc?

Planning to invest $200 monthly using POEMS ($6 sale charge). Do you think this is worth it or I should wait until I can invest a larger amount monthly etc $400 a month since it’s the same $6 charge?

What happen if i stop FSMone RSP? I plan to invest $2000 in an US ETF per month for 4 months. Total investment amt will be $8K then i will stop RSP. Is that allowed? Or must I consistently put in money every month?

How does the OCBC blue-chip investment plan work? What if I invest $1000 in 2 counters I choose from the beginning and stop putting money in? Or is it a must to put in money every month?
