Like I've mentioned before, when the auto deposit hits my Roth late this month I'll be buying expensive stocks again!

I'm not sure that's the case.

Change it to weekly if you’re concerned about this.

I’ve been doing weekly for years and like to think it is about as DCA’d as you can get. Not sure if it would make a difference either way, but I like it.

Sure there are days/weeks with 1000+ pt swings, but there’s no way to buy every bottom. I generally have some portion of cash I can use in other accounts to buy on weaknesss directly, but I don’t worry about it with the Roth autopilot funds.

I'm sure it makes a difference. Any stats on this from anyone?

Hard to figure out WTF is going on, hard to find any pattern or rational right now.

Several things I have been looking at are yo-yoing on the basis of nothing, no news, no change in fundamentals, with the market in general, next day against the market.

Bought in with free cash a few weeks ago but think it is time for another pause and watch everyone else chew their fingernails while I chill a bit.

Nobody is gonna have stats on that, but it gives you free cash more often. If you aren’t set to auto-buy, you can use discretion on when to use that cash
