Is investing a fixed amount into the same stock once a year (i.e. 1 January of every year) still considered dollar cost averaging ?

Usually when reading about DCA, it usually advocates investing monthly,quarterly or half-yearly. I have not seen yearly timeframe being mentioned. Is there any reason for that?

Yes it is still considered dollar cost averaging, but it is just in a longer term context.

Would you recommend investing in both Syfe's Core Balanced and Equity100 portfolios? I'm thinking of investing the same amount in the 2 portfolios using the dollar cost average strategy.

I have questions on Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA). If i do it every 6 months, does it mean the units i received will be determined by the price of the purchased stock?

I'm graduating from university in 1 year's time. I currently have around $50k and I'm not sure what to do with it. Should I invest in stocks? And should I be considering insurance at this stage?

Has Endowus ever perform any study, especially over the previous bear markets/crashes/recessions? Which strategy performs better over time and what are the fees' net amounts? Should I pick dollar cost average or lump sum investment?

Which Broker is the cheapest to use if I want to Dollar cost Average (SGD1,000 every month into US ETF and hold for at least 5years? Total amount is less than (USD100,000). SAXO vs IB vs TD vs others?
