For anyone asking about if dollar cost averaging works - I did DCA in my IRA for the first 6 months this year, and I’m currently up 11.8%. Had I done a lump sum back in Jan, I would only just today be back up to even!

This is anecdotal. Congratulations, but lump sum investment usually works better

Agree with IBM. While DCA is a safe bet, lump sum usually returns better. Good for you though keep making them gains

Lot of fear in the market right now (understandably so). The situation in Ukraine is awful and the potential consequences are scary to think about.

There are some who want to sell in fear of their investments falling further. Do not do this. Hold and continue to buy more. Continue your 401k contributions, and add whatever you can afford after every paycheck into your brokerage. Those who sold the covid crash were often late buying back in.

This is the dip you're worried about.
