If you always DCA, you’re almost never down over the course of a year. And practically never over 2 years.

I'm finally getting to where I just keep buying dips and don't worry about it.

Yeah. Just always DCA and sleep peacefully 😌

Lump sum is the best.

If your time horizon is years or decades then it really doesn’t matter.

Exactly.

I’ve bought lump sum at the bottom and at the top. I’ve DCA’d all the way from trough to peak, and then back from peak to trough.

The best is when you’ve bought so much and so often that it’s impossible to even know what your cost average is. All one knows is that they are “up”….who the fuck knows by how much…..

Well, if one keeps track for tax purposes, one will know what all of their buys cost them. But yeah the trend line is up and to the right regardless of the timing.

Taxes are for those who sell……
