[nicholasmartinez]

If there is one man anyone should take direct investing advice from its this man. This guy changed my life

[geraldfawcett]

Bogle we the people need more people like him instead of the wolves of wall street

I enjoy listening to john Boyle - very wise and great voice at 90. always a pleasure to learn.

On DCA:
"spread out over 4 years do it every quarter or something like that 5 years".
Dear Bogle, thank you, thank you tahnk you, from an everage saver and investor.

Dollar-cost-averaging produces less gains during Bull markets,
but it also produces less losses during Bear markets.

I think if the market is high and p/e are higher than 30 dollar cost averaging works well but if the market has recently crashed or p/e is low below 15 then lump sum is prob the way to go. So right now I’m dollar cost averaging and will put the lump in if there is a big dip. I reckon the key to index investing is to have a minimum horizon of 15 years and the only rule is do not sell when the crash comes

I found out the benefits of DCA after 9/11--I had moved much of my IRA and taxable investments to Vanguard total stock market a year or 2 before the big crash, but kept investing and was making money when the share price was still less than when I started

This video was perfect for me. My dad died last year and I just came into a lump sum of inheritance. I decided to invest it all on the same day. I think my dad would be proud because he was a big fan of Vanguard and Jack Bogle.

I threw 100k at once at ETFs . It was kinda hard to do but I know it’s better than sitting in a savings accounts making .35 cents a year .

2/3rd of the time investing the lip sum immediately is the better option.

[EchadLevShtim]

Why does he look just like David Rockefellar?😶

[williamd]

Interestingly, it was Vanguard that did a study showing that lump sum investing beats dollar cost averaging two thirds of the time ... check out this video

"not a very productive idea" = Don't Do it.

[inertiaforce]

Not one of you guys would dump a lump sum of $1 mil cash into the market all at once lol. I would bet money 99% of you would DCA that in over a period of time, possibly a very long period of time lol.

[JTDyer]

If you had a million dollars cash as one lump sum, you wouldn't need to invest in the first place. So Dollar Cost Average seems like a good way to start.
