Stock market dip
I’m relatively new to stocks and investing but am aware of the drop in the market due to imposed tariffs. I’m wondering when and what exactly I should be investing in during this period!

If you have a watch list of shares or ETFs that are now cheaper than the valuation you put on them, then now is probably a good time to dollar cost average into them. But if you are new and don’t have a list, there seems to be a fairly general sell-off happening, so perhaps a broad Australian market ETF (e.g. IOZ, A200, VAS, MVW), or international market (e.g. VGS, QLTY, IOO) or a US market (e.g. IVV, NDQ).
Noting that the Australian dollar is also falling, so you aren’t getting as much for your money in non-Australian shares.
Also, don’t go all-in just yet as there is probably more falls to come (i.e. a better clearance sale). In the GFC prices kept falling for 18 months in Australia, but only 1 month (if that) in the 2020 covid crash. Maybe monthly is a good cadence?
