Añadido: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]The S&P 500 is sitting at an all-time high, and honestly, it feels terrifying to invest right now. Your brain tells you, "If I buy today, the market is going to crash tomorrow." So, you decide to wait for a dip. But, history shows that waiting for that dip is actually a million-dollar mistake. Over the last century, the market spent roughly 30% of its time hitting new highs. It's a normal sign of a growing economy. Nobody can time the market. In fact, time in the market beats timing the market almost every single time. Instead of dumping everything in at once, use dollar cost averaging. Invest a fixed amount every single month through your TFSA or RRSP. If the market drops, you buy cheaper. If it goes up, you win anyway. Hit subscribe for weekly ETF and investing breakdowns.
