This Strategy Actually Works During A Market Crash #investing #stocks

Day 30 of investing every trading day and we’re up 3.49% after one month. After 30 days of consistent investing, this strategy is starting to prove itself, even through market volatility. Today, I was able to invest while the market was down at the open, and then watched it climb about 1% throughout the day. Since starting this challenge: • $4,800 invested • 14.6 shares of VTI (Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF) • Average price lowered from $339.08 to $327.23 • Current return: +3.49% Even though the market is only now approaching where we started, we’re already in profit, because we’ve been consistently buying the dip along the way. 💡 Why This Strategy Works This is a form of dollar-cost averaging with a twist: • Invest $100 every trading day • Invest $200 when the market is in the red By doubling down on red days, we’ve been able to lower our average cost per share faster, which positions us for gains when the market rebounds. If we had invested everything at the beginning, we would still be in the negative. 🌍 What’s Impacting the Market? Markets remain highly sensitive to global events, including: • Ongoing geopolitical tensions • Developments surrounding the Strait of Hormuz • Oil supply concerns, with tankers moving into position during the blockade This is exactly why investing carries risk, you never know what’s going to happen next. That’s why this challenge focuses on consistency over prediction. 🚀 Want to Invest Alongside Me?
