Is Dollar-Cost Averaging a Trap? If You Have Idle Cash, Stop Blindly DCA-ing: Lump Sum Can Retire You 10 Years Earlier

More than 3 million people in Taiwan use DCA, but 9 out of 10 of them don't know what they're doing. U.S. research spanning 30 years confirms that lump-sum investing beats DCA 66% of the time, and the same NT$600,000 over 20 years ends up differing by NT$8 million.

But if you have been working 5–10 years and have NT$200,000, NT$500,000, or even NT$1 million saved, continuing to DCA is wasting your own money.
