“With the current downturn in the stock market, I’m considering investing $10,000 to take advantage of lower prices.

Is this a good strategy, or should I hold off until there’s more stability?

What are your thoughts and what actions are you taking in this volatile market?”

[Mark]

I tend to buy things when they are on sale

[MT]

Nothing different. DCA. Like always.

[Emily]

While the market is “down” this is the same level the s&p was at in June and then it was the all-time high.

Not really a big drop from that perspective.

[Prasith]

Up or down, DCA all the way!
Just add more while down!

[Brad]

There is always doom and gloom in the market telling you not to buy but right now might be different.

Warren Buffet is selling Apple and Bank of America, raising a cash position.

Unemployment rate jumped to 4.3% from 4.1% in a month.

There is a wall of refinancing that government and corporations have to go through.

Rising tension in the Middle East.

I’m buying short duration AAA bonds and going to wait it out.

[Val]

Robert Barron My plan exactly! If I withdraw 4-5% annually, and it on average grows 10% a year, I will always have growth (on average).

[Heidi]

Slow and steady wins the race… keep on keeping on… or throw it in… then keep on keeping on.

My business comes with ebbs and flows, so I have a weekly goal.

Extra is that… extra.

Regardless of market.

I don’t know ANYONE, who invested 10k and it became a billion.

It’s consistency that wins the world.

[David]

Stock Market is the only store that throws a sale and people leave.

[Helen]

More downside to come but if you have money, you can dollar cost average and add over time.

[Amanda]

If you have it, buy it. I stopped paying as much attention to the price and track the number owned instead…

this way I’m always going up.

[Randy]

Already maxing contributions from every pay check. 60% of my take home salary going to investments and cash bucket. I’m tapped out.

6 years to retirement.

Praying for 7% historic returns

[Anna]

Doing nothing. Stocks go up and down. Don’t time the market. If I have an extra 10k I would have already thrown it to the market since time in the market beats timing the market

[Monique]

Loading up on S&P 500 index and NVIDA. I DCA consistently, but I buy extra in fire sales. I don’t chase new things tho.

Just load up a few current positions.

[Arthur]

I am probably picking up NVDA. I sold half my positions at $130 and said if it dipped below $100 I’ll buy the same amount I sold back so this is what I am getting ready to do.

[David]

Studies show that the longer the money is in the markets the more your make. Meaning, if you have a large lump sum, investing it all at once is better than dca over months/years

[Matthew]

If you have money you haven’t thrown in then just do so. You can’t guarantee it will go down more or up and there’s no point trying to guess.

[Kitty]

Depends on your goals and current situation. I am stacking cash.

We just bought our second home in April so replenishing and beefing up our emergency fund is #1 priority, then back to weekly investing after we hit our 8 month EF
