Buffett probably recommends the index fund because the people asking for that advice can't properly evaluate financial statements. He makes *way* more money picking individual stocks. He started out with aggressive value investing, but it wasn't scalable. (Berkshire tiling company went bankrupt.) When he linked up with Munger he scaled up by buying "great companies at fair prices." Buffet bought insurance companies and invested their cash float. The goal changed from making money to keeping money safe with moats. Buffet's work is his investment; other people buy index funds with regular salary contributions. Essentially his advice for others is to save effectively, but it's not proper investing; it's unreflective.

Most times, splitting your one time investment into many small investments will loose you money, because most of your money is sitting idle. Time in the market beats market timing. But, yeah, if you are afraid to invest a large sum right before a crash, then go for it. Also, if you take the MSCI World chart and color in every all time high, you will have a very colorful chart. A large percentage of the historical MSCI World chart consists of all time highs. One after the other.

If you're a salaryman, investing a portion of your salary, then yes, DCA is obviously better than saving it up till the end of the year to lump sum. The paper is merely stating that the time in market effect is so powerful that delaying investment by just 12 months results in less money. This does apply to annual bonuses that you may want to invest. It's better to invest all that bonus immediately when you get it than to spread it out over 12 months.

Philip Fisher (Common stocks and uncommon profits) also recommends to avoid invest the whole amount in once but scatter investments in a 3 years period instead.

If that happens to be the case and the minimum is 2500 or 5,000, I might just save up that amount before investing. You aren't missing anything by waiting a few months or a year or two. And if you're not planning on investing a great deal more than $5,000 in the next decade or two, you should reconsider investing. Investing just a little isn't going to get you anywhere.

Lumpsum investing better in a bullish market. Periodic investing better in a bear market. Over a long period of time 10-20 years periodic is better

Generally yes but time horizon is important. If you have 30 years ahead of you then dollar cost averaging is statistically the best thing you can do.

Hmm, wouldn't it potentially be the inverse? E.g. The longer your time horizon is the less it matters whether you are buying in at a short term high, even if there is a drop that lasts years, you'll come out ahead in the long run and the missed opportunity for savings on asset prices/increased gains will be a smaller % of your long term increase. Whereas if you are looking at a shorter time frame for when you want to realize your gains and make use of your money, failing to dollar cost average heading into a dip could have a more significant effect on your earnings?

Hey Brandon, would love to see a net worth update seeing as your channel has grown so much.

Thank you so much! This really helped me with my nervousness to go in right now, and extra bonus -- answered my question about investing all our amounts, which I pulled out a few years ago when I wanted to get some learning under me and missed the covid bust, but all the boom. I have $200k to invest, and everything I've read says to not dollar-cost average but it wasn't sitting right with me. I'm so relieved to hear from the master -- yes, get in now, but not with all of it. Get in now and keep getting in consistently!

AAII (American Association of Individual Investors) recommends going in over 10-12 months for lump sums if you think you are a market highs, I believe. If there is a downturn, accelerate your purchases - either totally or to some extent. Time in the market matters more than timing the market. Also, each year the S&P 500 hits numerous new "highs" unless you are in a bear market.

Thanks!

Are other Index Funds like FTSE All-World fine as well?

I agree completely matt. This video was spot on.

To be fair you can't accurately quote Ben Graham when talking about index funds because they weren't even around when he was alive. He may have said something very different about index funds.

@@NewMoneyKZread I remember watching a video somewhere on KZread at a B/H annual meeting where someone brought this topic up and Warren said he thought Ben Graham would have probably been positive on index funds.

2 years after this video the S&P is over 5,000, which proves how good the advice is.

So the advice for someone who recently came into a lump sum (in your example $100,000) is to hold it in cash and buy evenly and slowly into the market (eft) at regular intervals as opposed to buying in all at once? Seems doable, but if over this time span the market has a major correction it would be tempting and probably advisable to increase the size and frequency of the buys.

Yes. I’m in the same boat as you. I’ve just made a plan that I’ve committed to. I’m willing to wait 1-2 years until I’m fully invested, since these valuations are just far too exuberant for my tastes. Check margin debt.. insane speculation in the US market. And I’m no gambler. So my plan is to buy 20% into my positions when prices of my watched equities drop 12% from all time high, another 20% when 18% from ATH, etc. .. to invest the rest in an extreme downturn, I’ll watch the VIX closely, since it can signal a turn around near the bottom. At these valuations I’m not going to touch US indexes though.

This is based on the assumption that the (US) market will only go higher and higher over time (with inflation considered). This does not apply to some other markets.

Great video, I have one question which I think is relevant atm. Would it be worth diversifying by investing in other markets - it seems the S&P may be getting hit particularly hard in the near future with inflation etc etc Would we be wise to also invest in other countries markets as an insurance policy perhaps?

Our inflation is not as bad as most of the rest of the world. And I don't think inflation hurts the S&P. Having your money not invested would hurt you.
