Following graph represents the power of consistency and calm mind.
It is based on a study of market movement from 2003 to 2022. In this study each year every investor invested 2000$. Study can be found on rbcinvestease.com.
PERFECT PAMELA represents investors who perfectly timed the market and invested 2000$ at lowest point of the year. This investor is either extremly lucky or a time traveler.
NO DELAY DAKOTA represents investors who invested her 2000$ each year at first trading day of the year. This is an interesting concept of this approach requires no luck at all, just a functional calendar.
MONTHLY MYRIAM represents investors who splits her 2000$ into 12 pieces and invested 166$ every month. This concept also requires no luck at all, however it require functional calendar and a calculator.
BAD LUCK BRIDGETTE represents investors who has terrible luck and invests her 2000$ at highest points at the market. Same as scenario number one this scenario is also very unlikely to happen (unless your ex boyfriend/girlfriend cursed you to eternal market suffering).
And finally there is SIDELINE SANDRO he left his money in interest-earning cash investments every year.
Point of the story is short and simple being consistent is very close to perfection.
