Thank you for being a subscriber! | | 💰️ Why Clark Prefers Dollar-Cost Averaging To Lump-Sum Investing | | ❝ | | | “In the short term, investments go up and down, up and down like an ocean wave. And a lot of people freak out from the downs. And it changes their behavior. “If people could just have icewater in their veins and stay in [the market], then yes, my method, dollar-cost averaging would be inferior [to lump-sum investing]. “But I also look at this. Building habits with how you handle money is key to long-term financial security. And that’s why I love dollar-cost averaging so very much.” | | | | Clark Howard, Aug. 25 podcast |
