I'm sure I will get downvoted to oblivion for this ... But, whatever. Are you sure you should REALLY be recommending to DCA right now? This isn't investment advice disclaimer.

You do realize ... With a > 15% drop and long term outlook DCA'ing back when you were still recommending to do so \~3-4 months ago would take > 2 -3 years at a 7 - 10% return (which is high historically) and probably more like 4 - 5 years average particularly if we have a recession and slow down

That's a lot of rebound to go net positive when you could have waiting for a massive impending economic event which STILL has not played out and likely has not bottom yet

This is NOT investment advice. Yes, DCA is good - in theory - and yes for those about to quote graphs and screenshots at me of OTHER crashes and the minor "blip" they caused ...

You are right. Sort of.

But, there is no fundamental reason for someone to throw cash in at a massive downturn or right before it knowing full well what is in the news cycle

That is just non-sensical advice relative to incoming economic disaster when waiting two weeks or two months ago could have immediately netted you a +15% vs waiting for a +15% rebound to break even relative to long-term basis on rebound

Can you realistically time a market? Intraday random news? No.

Relative to a complete moron wrecking the economy with completely validated statements and news / clown show going on? Sure! Why not? Pretty clear event
