DCA and Increasing this with the dip.
Posted: Sat Feb 05, 2022 8:38 am
So I was drinking my coffee, and reading about DCA which I do, but I try to keep some cash just in case.
So we mostly seem to agree DCA is great. (No?)
And it got me thinking, instead of dumping say 200,000 into the s&p in one go during the dip (which many say isn’t the best idea) why not just increase the frequency of DCA, for say the next few weeks/months DURING THE DIP.
This in theory would balance out the buying the dip. Giving us the advantages of buying during the dip but not the risk of a single large payment .
What’s good in the good time, might be better in the bad time.( s&p500)
I can’t find any articles on this, but the idea of buying when others are selling, and just being boring, when everyone is going crazy over something eg Tesla, Bitcoin.
Loads of articles on DCA but not much on doing the same on doing this during the dip. Everyone seems to talk about “The DIp”. Merry
