Standard DCA Has a Problem. Here Is What to Do Instead.Added:
But there's a fundamental flaw, and the standard DCA doesn't care what the market is doing. You could be deploying money every 2 weeks straight into an extended downtrend. Look at this right here.
Or every month. We had a pullback of 27%.
Your portfolio is bleeding if you're doing that. You're buying more on the way down, and you're using up all your available capital during the the during the worst possible uh conditions. Okay?
It's still once again better than not investing at all. And investing on a downtrend, yes, you will buy more shares, but we can leverage our knowledge here a little bit more, and actually, it's not that difficult on the stock market to time and act the exact low. We've done that over and over.
