Now most of the investments are dropping, and we don’t know how long this downturn is going to last, hopefully very soon🤞🏻. Should we continue with cost averaging every month or hold out for a lower point in the market?

Hi Derrick,
I'm still doing DCA in my UTs, since I don't really want to be bothered with trying to time the markets in general. There are no transactional fees, and I do want to be broadly diversified across markets and regions.
However for my individual stock holdings, I'm loading some ammo and waiting for a right entry price (at least to me). Do your homework, have a idea of what you want and the price, and prepare to wait. You may never deploy all your money, but that's okay too. Short of the market crashing by half or more, I don't think I'll ever deploy my funds fully.
Hope that gives you some food for thought. Good luck!

talking about property used by one's own, happily
