That last recurring investment installment was deducted at around 78k. When I check today, it’s still slightly down. Back then I was a bit conflicted—who doesn’t want it to go up right after buying?

But then I thought: I’m still in the phase of building up my principal. If it dips, next week I can buy more. The “DCA guy” isn’t afraid of dips; what they’re afraid of is giving in to impatience and stopping.

When you guys get the recurring investment deducted and it then drops, how do you usually reconcile with yourself?
