4. Term Of The Day 📚
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)
📖Definition: An investing strategy where you invest a fixed amount of money at regular intervals (weekly, biweekly, monthly) regardless of the market price. Over time, this means you buy more shares when prices are low and fewer when prices are high, smoothing out your average cost
📊Why it matters: DCA helps reduce the impact of volatility and removes the pressure of trying to “time the market.” It’s especially powerful for long-term investors who are adding to retirement accounts or brokerage accounts from each paycheck
💡Example: You decide to invest $300 into an S&P 500 index fund on the 1st of every month. Some months the price is high and you buy fewer shares; other months the price is low and you buy more. After a few years, your average purchase price ends up being a balanced reflection of all those ups and downs—without you having to guess the “perfect” entry point
5. Song Of The Day 🎧
🎧Song: “Titanium” by David Guetta ft. Sia
Genre: EDM
Why it hits: An anthemic build, massive drop, and powerhouse vocals that make it perfect for locking in on a workout, deep work session, or any moment you need a reminder that you’re tougher than whatever’s in front of you
