commission plays a huge part.

traditional brokerage charges min $25 per transaction. so each lump sum share purchase min $5k makes more sense.

but with platform like moomoo each order for $1+k less than $3 (even lower if u newbie or got free commission coupon), dollar cost averaging make sense especially in this volatile market. also now there are more day traders.

with mmf still offering returns of 3%, u can simply just deposit excess funds in it while waiting for the right price.

I uses both strategies.

I identify companies which I want to hold long term and the fair value. sg 3 banks, sgx.

I identify companies with potential swings that I can earn free daily meals. 5e2, 9ci, f03.
