The crash could still happen one day after you put the last dollar in. If you can’t handle such a crash, you need to invest less in stock all the time, not just for a few weeks/months after receiving a windfall.
- steveBK123 3y agoSure let's say it happens the day after you put your last dollar in, but some of those dollars previously put in are up 1/5/10/20% depending on DCA pace. Therefore THOSE dollars don't experience the same loss as the last dollar which has not appreciated. Of course you are measuring that against the fact that the market generally goes up, so any dollars held outside the market are missing gains over time.
