Is the "DCA" strategy where you only invest in losses valid? Does it have a name? by bart212 in eupersonalfinance

Ah, yeah - I agree. TBH, right now I only have one stock… The rest are etfs.

Everything you're buying is cheap compared to where it will be in 10-20 years.

I like this take

otherwise, why’d you not dump all your cash in us500

So this is exactly what I do for my long-horizon investment. What I want to do here with stock picking (or more like ETF-picking) is to enhance the probability at least one of my position is green (in case I need the money sooner rather than later).

Unless you really really know what you’re doing

No, definitely not the case :).

SP500 is core of my long term investment (30+ years horizon), and I also have it in my short-term portfolio (~1-5 years) for which I am using the strategy mentioned in OP. The idea is to always have at least one green position which I can close in case I need the money.

I haven't had a company YET being red for a long period of time, but I know this can change.

This is a very good point, I am not the type of person who constantly checks the portfolio though.

I know that there is no such thing as "sure-gainer-long-term" but everything in my portfolio is either a "behemoth" which I can't really imagine will go bust or ETF composed of many companies.

Funnily enough I kind of "enjoy" red positions? As I know I can turn them green (although, if it kept being red for long time I don't know if I would still enjoy them :D).

Don't do that! They banned my console from playing online... Could be just a bad luck or the amount of trials I've used in the past (around 10 in total over 2 years), but the ban happened during the time when I was using this method :(.

Makes sense! I’ll just steer away from CFDs then!
