1/ Currency swaps are on the decline. That translates in the Fed balance sheet moving lower for now.
Keep in mind that it still sits at US$7 Trillion!
2/ But the same thing happened in 2008. The emergency measures make the #Fed balance sheet explode. Then after they fade away the next step is a long term #QE program that will last for years.
At the same point in 2008 we weren't even half way through the expansion... #Brrrr
3/ What's the conclusion? Keep calm and #StackSats.
Facts about dollar cost averaging:
• How often you DCA doesn’t really matter.
• There is no such thing as a best day to DCA.
• You can lose money with DCA, so choose your asset wisely.
More details 🧵
You can dollar cost average an asset daily, weekly or monthly, over the long run it doesn’t matter.
The only thing that matters is that you are consistent.
Just do it.
You might want to “optimize” your dollar cost averaging strategy by picking the best time to buy.
This is pointless. Pick any day of the week to DCA, that makes virtually no difference over the long run.
Sorry to break it to you, but dollar cost averaging isn’t the ultimate investment strategy.
If you are looking to maximize your return on investment, look elsewhere.
Let's see why and how to improve it.
You all know what dollar cost averaging is. Pick an asset:
- Buy a fixed $ amount of that asset.
- Do that at regular time intervals.
Continue until you are tired of it.
If you started dollar cost averaging the SP500 at $100 per week in 2012 you would now have:
- Deployed $50k.
- For a profit of $27k.
- Or a ROI of 54%.
