If you think there may be another dip then DCA, if you think stocks are only going up from now on, then lump sum. It’s really a personal preference 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm just starting to invest, wondering why so many people here prefer DCA when there seem to be more evidence suggesting that lumpsum payoff is better? Happy to learn, any advice welcome

If you have money then front loading isn’t a bad idea. I invest every month from my paycheck and usually set aside some money to buy more when the market dips. Did it last week and did it today.

Hi I am the person who suggested two Green Day’s. I think it is ok time, think about the cash you plan to put in and consider how you will DCA to continue contributions for at least a year. If selloff becomes dramatic again perhaps reevaluate and add faster once we see some signs or resistance (e.g 2 Green Day’s).

Full disclosure personally I am bearish on a macro perspective because of the FED. Think risks are elevated and I would also recommend having a decent hedge (whatever you have faith in) in case we see some serious pain.

Good luck!

Short term price movement shouldn’t be a big factor in your decisions. Only thing is it’s nice for your sanity to avoid dumping a big sum of money in right before a huge selloff and waiting years for it to recover.. anyway happy to help!

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.
