What is Dollar Cost Averaging?

InvestingBeginner

Dollar cost averaging (DCA) means investing a fixed amount at regular intervals regardless of the stock price. You buy more shares when prices are low and fewer when high, averaging out your cost. It removes the emotion and guesswork of trying to time the market.
