Whenever I see volatility, I just remind myself to be DCA Diane. I keep the same ETFs and plan for the long term. Which investor are you?

**The Three Investors (1980–2024 Scenario):**
* **Billy the Best** **(Perfect Timer):** Perfectly times every market bottom. Ends up with a high amount ($2.5M+) but requires impossible foresight.
* **DCA Diane (Consistent Investor):** Invests the same amount monthly, regardless of market highs or lows. She ends up with the highest total (nearly $3M) by staying consistent.
* **Unlucky Olga (Worst Timer):** Invests only at every market peak. Despite this, she still makes a significant profit, proving that "time in" the market is better than "timing" the market. Ends up with $1.56M.
