<prompt> Human: An inheritance came that I want to invest whats left after taxes. Paid off all debt, but didnt buy any major stuff car, house, etc, just want to invest it. Thing is, the outcome of the election has me pretty spooked how certain outcomes could affect the markets. I already have old investments, and those are not being meddled with much, theyve been going a long time and I just sit out the bad and enjoy the good, overall theyve done ok and Im sticking those out come what may.It freaks me out to have a big liquid savings account just sitting there doing essentially nothing, but I am really struggling to focus on investing it lately. Is this a merit-able reason to hold off for a few months, or am I just being paranoid?Edit add on: I want to buy low. Its not a matter of stressing over losses, or when to sell. Its about buying well, timing that. I dont worry a bit over short term losses or fluctuations, but I do concern myself with buying opportunities and its paid off well for me before. Everyone keeps advising like my concerns are losses from the market going down, and all Im trying to time is the best time to buy low. Im early 40s, retired, and quite comfortable, and was looking for more than cliches please.  <response>: Theres no way to know whats going to happen . . . if youre fussed about it, put in half now and the other half in a month. What happens to it over the next 30 years will swamp what happens to it over the next 30 days, regardless.
