I built a model using every trading day since 1950 to finally test whether dollar-cost averaging or buying the dip is better—and the results shocked me. Dollar-cost averaging did win, but only by about 2% over 75 years, meaning both strategies delivered nearly identical returns. The real takeaway wasn’t which method earned more, but that having a disciplined, systematic approach—regardless of market conditions—beats emotional investing every time. If you’re just starting or trying to catch up, dollar-cost averaging is simple, powerful, and one of the smartest ways to build long-term wealth.
