Should I continue to DCA into Syfe REIT+? I've been doing it for 4 years consistently and have never seen any profits. What's the point of DCA-ing into a portfolio that is negative even in the long ?

If 1 year no profit, at most 2 years, should stop already.

If no profit after 1 year, or no growth, you have to evaluate whether it's the wrong fund or the wrong type of investment for you.

It's all paper loss until you sell it. I would hold and continue getting the dividends until it recovers hopefully

I think maybe you could ask yourself some questions to consider that may help you in making decision moving forward.

1. What was your expected investment horizon or duration? 5yrs? 10 yrs?
2. Are you expecting to use that investment amount anytime soon? Like big purchases.
3. What do you want to achieve by investing in this particular portfolio?
4. How much downside is your threshold?
5. Other than looking at the appreciation value, have you factor in the dividends accumulated that have been reinvested?

For me I have started invest in the same portfolio 3 years ago, and I plan to continue because I believe the past 1 year ++ downside was due to the high interest rate (cause by high inflation) and my end goal is to achieve value appreciation at the same time building the portfolio big enough to earn a substantial dividends in the future.
