Given the bearish sentiments on macro economy and financial markets would it be advisable to halt my monthly saving/investment in stash-away portfolio and reevaluate at a later date?

Hi Anon, you'll never know when the market will suddenly go up again or how long the bear market is going to last. What I do, is to find good companies after doing my due diligence, and enter the market at several tranches since the prices are roughly depressed already. I.e. I enter now at xx price, if after some months it dropped further by another 10%, I'll buy again at the cheaper price. So this is sort of like DCA, at least you secure the price first. Further more, DCA works better in a bear market, so I'd stay invested or get invested.

As you are doing DCA, you are actually buying more stocks at cheaper prices.

Unless you know when is the bottom, i dont see a reason why you should halt unless you need the cash for other reasons.
