Volatility in the markets and inflation in our daily lives will be here to stay for next 2 years, in my opinion. The best way to participate in this volatility is to use "drip in money" strategy:

"Drip in money" a.k.a Dollar-cost averaging is not designed to generate extra-ordinary high returns, but rather, its primary purposes are:
(1) to reduce market-timing risk and,
(2) to preserve the purchasing power of the money into the future.
