This disciplined approach means you\u2019re not trying to predict market highs and lows, but instead participating in all market cycles. Because prices fluctuate, you naturally buy more shares when prices are low and fewer when they\u2019re high. For instance, a five-month example where $1,000 was invested each month turned $5,000 into about $6,900, ending up with 298.14 shares at an average cost of $16.77. No-load mutual funds are well-suited for this, as they avoid transaction fees, and using index funds or ETFs can further reduce costs thanks to their diversification and typically lower fees. Over my 32 years of helping clients with retirement and investment strategies, I\u2019ve seen how sticking with a plan\u2014especially through both bull and bear markets\u2014reduces the urge to make emotional decisions and positions you to benefit from both discounts and growth over time. Thoughtful, consistent investing really does lay a strong foundation for lasting wealth.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most reliable ways I\u2019ve seen clients steadily build wealth is through dollar-cost averaging\u2014consistently investing the same amount in a chosen stock or fund at regular intervals.
