E185 - Which Is Better? Lump Sum versus Dollar Cost Averaging Investing - Tested with SCHD
Listen now
Description
I was curious which style of investing is superior, lump sum investing or dollar cost averaging. So I decided to test it for myself and I'd like to share the results and my thoughts on the topic with you today. If you don't know the difference between these two approaches to investing I'll explain that as well.
