DCA: How often are you buying the dip, and what proportion of your cash are you investing per DCA-investment?
The financial advice most passive investors know now, is to DCA through the dip. Eventually when the economy recovers, we’d have bought into the market at a discount. But how often are you DCA-ing? Weekly? Monthly? Bi-monthly? If you DCA too frequently, you will rack up transaction fees. And if …
Anyone else think this market drop is a good thing?
