Sorry to hear about your forced career change, hope everything goes well for you. I think it's a good idea to space investments a bit. Maybe pick a few of the cheaper stocks up now with 10% and then keep eyes open and do another 10% next month, etc. Over the course of a year you should be able to build a solid portfolio at decent entry points as the market ebbs and flows.
