Buy the Dip!

What does buy the dip mean? What's a dip? It looks like there is not a good definition of what a stock dip is. So let's call it a decline of between 5 and 10% or more in the price of a security from its most recent peak.

What Is a Correction?

In investing, a correction is usually defined as a decline of 10% or more in the price of a security from its most recent peak.

What Is a Bear Market?

A bear market is when a market experiences prolonged price declines. It typically describes a condition in which securities prices fall 20% or more from recent highs amid widespread pessimism and negative investor sentiment.

What Is a Bull Market?
A bull market is a period of time in financial markets when the price of an asset or security rises continuously.
The commonly accepted definition of a bull market is when stock prices rise by 20% after two declines of 20% each.

What Is the Average Cost Method?

The average cost method assigns a cost to inventory items based on the total cost of goods purchased or produced in a period divided by the total number of items purchased or produced. The average cost method is also known as the weighted-average method.

What Is Dollar-Cost Averaging(DCA)?

Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is an investment strategy in which an investor divides up the total amount to be invested across periodic purchases of a target asset in an effort to reduce the impact of volatility on the overall purchase. The purchases occur regardless of the asset's price and at regular intervals.

What is Synchrovest?

Synchrovest is an investment plan created by Robert Lichello in his book Super Power Investing

What are AIM and Twinvest? Aim and Twinvest were created by Robert Lichello in his book How to Make $1,000,000 in the Stock Market Automatically: Twinvest was added after the second edition I believe.

What is Williams %R?

Williams %R, also known as the Williams Percent Range, is a type of momentum indicator that moves between 0 and -100 and measures overbought and oversold levels. The Williams %R may be used to find entry and exit points in the market. The indicator is very similar to the Stochastic oscillator and is used in the same way. It was developed by Larry Williams and it compares a stock’s closing price to the high-low range over a specific period, typically 14 days or periods.

So where the heck am I going with this. I have been getting more interested in Cryptocoin and bitcoin. I saw this site www.dca-cc.com Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) calculator for Bitcoin (BTC) backtesting, I thought WOW, how good could Synchrovest do? so I loaded up my spreadsheet, added the numbers and it did not even come close to beating DCA.

I did not test with AIM or Twinvest, but I suspect the results would have been similar

So it is back to the drawing board.
