Wondering how everyone decides on which fund to allot their contributions. Do you change that to go along with your current strategy, or allot it to a specific fund regardless of current strategy?

I am just an average Joe. I have no clue to what the market will do.

Since my moves are once a month at the most, I just match my contributions to wherever my current 100% allocation is. Just add more money to the pot. It's like having a moving version of the dollar cost average strategy.

I spread my contributions across the 4 funds I invest in(C,S,I&F) since they are such a small portion of my account.
