According to Professor Siegel, author of "Stocks for the Long Run," who conducted a statistical analysis of the American financial market over more than 200 years, stocks are the highest yielding asset in long-term investments, followed by corporate bonds and short-term government bonds. However, no bond can outperform inflation in the long run, only stocks can.

Obviously, stock auto-invest has become a recognised long-term investment strategy. So, what kind of auto-invest strategy can achieve higher investment returns? And how to appropriately reduce the risk of stocks?

Common auto-invest strategies include regular fixed investment, regular variable investment, and value-based investment.

Regular fixed investment is one of the most widely used and simplest investment strategies, which involves purchasing a fixed amount of stocks on a regular basis to achieve stable long-term investment.

On the other hand, regular variable investment adjusts the amount of stock purchased based on market conditions, buying more in a downturn and less on an upturn, making it a good strategy for smoothing costs.

In addition, value-based investment can reduce average costs by judging the current stock valuation and buying more when undervalued and less when overvalued.

    定期可变投资根据市场状况调整股票购买量,在低迷时期多买,在上升时期少买,这是一种平滑成本的好策略。

    auto-invest is a good tool as it allows you to invest consistently. moreover, it helps people who lead a busy life to invest without having to spend much time looking over stock. furthermore, with auto-invest you do not need to fork out one lump sum at one go but spread throughout over time @LMSunshine @Fenger1188 @HelenJanet @Success88 @GoodLife99 @SR050321 please share your thoughts [smile] [smile] [smile]

    Using a combination of Regular Fixed + Regular Variable investment is the most effective for me😉

    In a market downturn/stock declining period📉, I will do a daily 🐯auto-invest plan of $1 (Regular Fixed) for the stocks that I want to accumulate. $1 is affordable & helps me to build a daily saving habit while allowing me to invest in 5-10 different stocks. Total per month is just about USD100-200❣️Regular Fixed helps to prevent us from missing out on the bottom and allows us to keep buying as the stock declines.

    When a stock has gone down considerably, I would invest a lump sum (Regular Variable) as this would give us the highest return when the stock recovers📈. When a stock recovers, I would stop my 🐯auto-invest plan of $1 and look for another declining stock to start my plan😉 then I repeat this process for the all stocks that I’m interested in🤗🥳

      Oh btw DCA won’t work for risky stocks. For example, quite a number of Tigers got burned DCA-ing on $MANULIFE US REIT(BTOU.SI)$ $Novavax(NVAX)$ etc

    🌟🌟🌟Auto Invest with Tiger Brokers is a fantastic way to invest with minimal capital and maximum gain over a long term horizon. 

    I like the Regular Fixed Auto Invest Strategy best as it requires the least monitoring and saves me time too. 

    Every month I would put USD100 into $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPLG)$  which represents 500 of the largest and strongest US companies in the US. This auto invest strategy also minimises my risks on buying individual stocks.  Over a long term horizon it allows the magic of compounding to happen. 

    That's what Warren Buffett recommends and that's how he became a billionaire too.  It is time in the market that counts, not timing the market.

    Every month I will put USD 100
