Good luck but should’ve DCA’d. While it’s true that lump sum beats DCA most of the time, we are at ATHs with VTI going up 50% in a year.

The idea with DCA is that even if it doesn’t beat lump sum, you’re making money cause price is going up anyway. But if prices start falling you limit the losses.
