both method have pro & cons u know..
lump sum if u invest "wrong" timing aka when NAV is high.. later market down.. u loss big time.. but if market still go upwards after u invested then profit lor

and the main point is UT need to keep long term
erm.... not to say I'm gonna time the market.... haha. just a question. cause i read research that put lump sum investment vs dca. 2/3 of the times, lump sum investment wins dca over 10 years.
this condition is.
lump sum investment = at year 0, you got 1 million. you directly put in all.
dca = at year 0, you got 1 million. you dca your 1 million over every month until the end.
Now I'm thinking how about.
at year 0, you got no budget or shit. If you decide to lump sum. means for the first few months perhaps, or few years you are accumulating cash.(static cash). then only you lump sum later.
vs
at year 0, every month you put in little by little.
It seems for this more realistic scenario, dca wins. I think.
