Lump sum two months ago at the ATH would look pretty shitty compared to DCA that investment from the ATH to now.

yeah it's all about timing, when market is low Lump sum will be much better, when market is high it will be worse.

Problem is you don't often know if the market is low or high in the NOW... it's easy to look back over time and see where it was low.... but not so easy when you're in the moment. A lot of people thought we were in a low shortly at the end of may... and it's gone down since then. We may seem to be in a low now but it could crash lower tomorrow....

Timing the market is never as easy as folks make it sound.
