DCA is mostly a psychological trick to make you less emotional about ups and downs in market
Some people are scared about investing in one large lump sum because of the risks and scared of sudden drop. Then DCA may reduce that anxiety.
Some people don't want to think about timing the market, so they use DCA to make things automated.
Although mathematically and real-world observation shows that lump sum, on average, gives better returns than DCA, some people cannot or will not take that what they may view as a giant risk.
Both get you to your goals if you give your investments enough time, just one might be slower than the other.
DCA is just a nicer way of saying pump in to cover your shortfalls in the long run
Both will lead to the same goals just that how bumpy the ride is
Today last day seems SA on 36 will only gain 1.5% for the month as the correction is still happening
To those who took their gains last week congrats 6% and next month time to buy in the dips soon
