【Voting Post】A pullback is coming. So what? Does this mean people should sell their holdings or to continue holding? Ultimately depends on your time horizon. If your time horizon is 30-40 years, will a 20% drawdown from a potential recession affect your investment decision? How about a time horizon of < 10 years. Introducing "Tactical DCA".  That would be the idea of automating your monthly investments into a broad-based index such as the $Vanguard S&P 500 ETF(VOO)$ . A more concentrated index such as $Invesco QQQ Trust-ETF(QQQ)$  is good in a bull market as gains are amplified and investors chase growth or potential future heavyweights, but picking something more diversified is better in the

$Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$  TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, is facing a mixed bag of fortunes when it comes to its WIP status. On the one hand, the company's most advanced 3nm node is running at full capacity, thanks to strong demand from AI chipmakers. However, its other nodes are seeing a almost full in capacity utilization. Key takeaways from TSMC's WIP status: 3nm: The most advanced node, is currently at full capacity (over 100%). 5/4nm: Capacity has decreased from 92% in 2022 to 80% in 2023, but is expected to rebound to 94% in 2025. 7/6nm: Capacity has decreased from 85% in 2022 to 61% in 2023, but is expected to rebound to 75% in 2025. 16/12nm: Capacity has decreased from 86% in 202

Is It Better to Dollar-Cost Average or Invest Heavily During a Sell-Off? When it comes to investing, one of the most debated strategies is whether to dollar-cost average (DCA) or to invest heavily during market sell-offs. Each method has its proponents and critics, and understanding the nuances of both can help investors make more informed decisions tailored to their risk tolerance and financial goals. Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) **What is DCA?** Dollar-cost averaging involves investing a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, regardless of the asset's price. This strategy aims to reduce the impact of volatility by spreading out investments over time. **Advantages of DCA:** 1. **Mitigates Market Timing Risk:** - DCA reduces the risk of investing a large sum at an inopportune time, su

The semiconductor industry is facing a significant headwind today, with major players like $STMicroelectronics NV(STM)$ tumbling over 10%. This sharp decline is a direct result of growing geopolitical tensions and the potential for stricter trade rules limiting China's access to advanced chip technology. China is a behemoth in the semiconductor market, accounting for a staggering 49% of $ASML Holding NV(ASML)$'s revenue. ASML, a crucial player in chip manufacturing equipment, is caught in the crossfire of this geopolitical standoff. The potential restrictions on chip exports to China could have far-reaching consequences for the entire semiconductor industry. This news comes at a particularly challenging t

DCA or invest Heavily? This is the moment, once in a few times of your life that many is waiting for? DCA or Dollar Cost Averaging is usually use for ETF or Funds. This technique is good for average and most people. This technique is also used by funds house as they cannot buy too much or see too much.  I had taught a friend this technique after 2008 Lehman Brothers and many of my clients had benefit from DCA.  However I also taught my friend an advantage technique which she details in this blog https://rainbowwealth.blogspot.com/2021/12/rainbowwealth.html .

My Choice: A Balanced Approach While the allure of high returns from a well-timed lump sum investment is tempting, the reality is that consistently predicting market bottoms is nearly impossible. The emotional toll and risk involved make it a strategy suitable for only the most experienced and risk-tolerant investors. For the majority of investors, DCA offers a more prudent and sustainable path to wealth building. By eliminating the need for market timing and reducing the impact of volatility, DCA aligns with the principles of long-term investing. However, I believe a balanced approach can be beneficial. For instance, one could allocate a portion of their investment funds to DCA while maintaining a smaller allocation for opportunistic lump sum investments. This hybrid strategy allows inves

Whether to use dollar-cost averaging (DCA) or invest heavily during a market drop depends on your risk tolerance, investment strategy, and market conditions. Here are my three key takeaways: 1. Risk Management: DCA spreads out your investment over time, reducing the impact of market volatility and lowering the risk of investing a large amount just before a significant drop. This strategy can be beneficial if you are risk-averse and want to avoid making large investments during uncertain times. 2. Potential Returns: Investing heavily during a market drop can result in higher returns if the market rebounds strongly. This approach requires confidence in your market timing and the ability to handle short-term losses. It's often favored by those who believe in the long-term potential of their i

Invest heavily for the long run 

I think better to have both - DCA and during the big drop buy more. DCA to keep constant investing and big drop is a bonus to buy good companies at a good price. @koolgal @Shyon @HelenJanet @SPACE ROCKET @TigerGPT @LMSunshine @rL @GoodLife99 @Universe宇宙
