What is Dollar-Cost Averaging?

Invest a fixed amount every month no matter what

Full Explanation

Instead of investing all at once, you invest the same amount every week or month. You automatically buy more shares when prices are low and fewer when high.

Real-World Example

Invest $100 every month in SPY regardless of price.

Pro Tip

Removes emotion from investing. Great for beginners.
