00:00:00
stocks keep dropping and you are going
00:00:02
to hear people say buy the dip buy the
00:00:05
dip what buy what dip this thing keeps
00:00:08
dipping the stock market keeps falling
00:00:11
so I'm buying the dip today and it keeps
00:00:14
dipping tomorrow and I'm actually not
00:00:16
buying the dip I'm throwing my money
00:00:19
away by investing in the stock market
00:00:21
right now I'm catching that falling
00:00:24
knife hey guys it's Aman from RR journey
00:00:27
and on today's video I am going to help
00:00:30
you guys with this issue because a lot
00:00:33
of you guys are seeing the stock market
00:00:35
go down and you are hearing Talking
00:00:37
Heads on these news networks talking
00:00:40
about Bu The Dip when you are probably
00:00:43
sitting at home thinking well what does
00:00:46
that really mean so buying the dip is an
00:00:49
investment strategy where you purchase
00:00:51
stocks after their prices have dropped
00:00:54
hoping they'll recover and go even
00:00:56
higher in the future the logic is simple
00:00:59
if a stock was worth $100 yesterday but
00:01:02
now it's $80 today you might see this as
00:01:05
a discounted buying opportunity and so
00:01:08
you are buying the dip but here's the
00:01:10
catch how do you know if this dip is
00:01:13
temporary and is a buying opportunity or
00:01:16
just the start of an even bigger drop
00:01:19
what if you buy now and it falls another
00:01:22
10% another 20% what do you do that's
00:01:26
why buying the dip blindly is risky
00:01:29
instead instead you need a strategy a
00:01:31
structured way to enter the stock market
00:01:34
that doesn't rely on guessing the bottom
00:01:36
so on today's video to help you devise
00:01:39
your own strategy I'm going to talk
00:01:41
about four strategies to help you safely
00:01:44
buy the dip and an additional strategy
00:01:48
which we use which we think is the
00:01:50
ultimate way to invest in the stock
00:01:53
market in a situation like this so let's
00:01:56
start with the numbers how bad is the
00:01:59
stock market right now since the stock
00:02:01
market peaked in January of 2025 the S&P
00:02:06
500 is down more than 10% the NASDAQ is
00:02:10
down almost 15% and when you look at
00:02:14
individual stocks Tesla is down over 50%
00:02:18
losing $700 billion in its value and
00:02:22
some of the other Tech heavyweights the
00:02:25
fan favorites like Nvidia Nvidia is down
00:02:29
almost 20 5% meta is down over 20% Apple
00:02:34
down almost 20% Amazon 20% Microsoft 20%
00:02:40
all these Tech heavyweights that make up
00:02:42
a huge part of the stock market are down
00:02:45
more than 20% now these numbers are ugly
00:02:48
but is this the bottom it could or it
00:02:51
couldn't be we have seen the stock
00:02:54
market Fall a lot more in the past so
00:02:57
how do you invest in this type of Market
00:03:00
well this brings us to the strategies
00:03:03
that advanced investors use when they
00:03:06
are investing at a time like this the
00:03:08
first one is the percentage-based buying
00:03:10
strategy where you buy every x% drop in
00:03:15
other words instead of guessing the
00:03:16
bottom this strategy involves buying a
00:03:19
set amount every time the market drops
00:03:22
by a certain percentage for example if
00:03:25
the S&P 500 is down 5% you buy a small
00:03:29
portion if it drops another 5% you buy
00:03:33
another small portion if it falls
00:03:36
another 5% you increase your purchases
00:03:40
this approach helps you take advantage
00:03:42
of falling prices without going all in
00:03:45
too early if the market rebounds sooner
00:03:48
than expected you've still built a
00:03:50
position the next strategy is the moving
00:03:54
average strategy rather than relying on
00:03:56
emotions this strategy uses technical
00:03:59
indicators like the 200 day moving
00:04:01
average to decide when to invest in the
00:04:04
stock market so if a stock or an index
00:04:07
Falls below its long-term moving average
00:04:10
it signals a possible buy opportunity
00:04:14
this method helps you filter out
00:04:16
short-term noise and it gives a
00:04:18
data-driven approach to buying the dips
00:04:22
many professional investors watch these
00:04:24
moving averages closely to determine
00:04:27
whether a market is oversold or if if a
00:04:30
deeper decline is underway the next
00:04:32
approach is called the staggered Buy in
00:04:35
approach with this approach you break up
00:04:37
your investments into smaller bites over
00:04:40
time so let's say you have $10,000 to
00:04:44
invest instead of investing it all at
00:04:46
once you put in 2500 now while the
00:04:49
market is down if it drops further you
00:04:51
invest another 2500 in a month and you
00:04:55
repeat this process giving yourself
00:04:57
flexibility if the market continues used
00:05:00
to fall this way if the market recovers
00:05:03
quickly you are already invested but if
00:05:06
it keeps falling you still have cash to
00:05:09
take advantage of even better prices the
00:05:12
next approach is what I like to call the
00:05:14
fundamental value Buy in where you are
00:05:17
only buying quality companies that are
00:05:20
experiencing a temporary dip this is
00:05:23
what Warren Buffett likes to call Value
00:05:26
investing and so let's face it not all
00:05:29
stocks are going to recover some will
00:05:31
never bounce back and it is a time like
00:05:34
this when companies are being more
00:05:37
scrutinized that this becomes more
00:05:39
apparent the companies that are built
00:05:42
completely off of speculation when
00:05:44
investors start to look at the
00:05:47
fundamentals and the financials of those
00:05:49
companies they realize that these
00:05:51
companies are built on a house of cards
00:05:54
but investors that are looking at
00:05:56
companies and they are finding companies
00:05:58
with strong B balance sheets these
00:06:01
companies are the types of companies
00:06:02
that you want to invest in at a time
00:06:04
like this you see this strategy focuses
00:06:06
on buying great businesses at a discount
00:06:09
rather than buying just because a stock
00:06:12
is down so you want to do this by doing
00:06:14
three things before you consider buying
00:06:16
a stock the first is look for companies
00:06:19
with strong earnings low debt and
00:06:22
competitive advantages the second is
00:06:25
avoid companies that are struggling with
00:06:27
fundamental business problems third
00:06:30
focus on sectors that are likely to
00:06:31
rebound strongly when the stock market
00:06:34
recovers for example if apple or Nvidia
00:06:37
Falls 20% but their core businesses are
00:06:40
still strong that could be a buying
00:06:42
opportunity but if a company's
00:06:44
fundamentals are crumbling the dip might
00:06:47
not recover I think Tesla is a prime
00:06:50
example of a company that has
00:06:53
fundamentally changed it is a company
00:06:55
that at one time had a great advantage
00:06:58
in the market but with increased
00:07:00
competition with sentiment surrounding
00:07:03
the product changing significantly will
00:07:06
Tesla recover it's down right now about
00:07:09
50% and they are not selling a lot of
00:07:12
cars like they used to so this company
00:07:14
is going to be struggling to recover now
00:07:17
all of these strategies that we have
00:07:18
talked about there is one strategy that
00:07:21
is kind of floating around all of these
00:07:25
and it's the one that we like to use
00:07:28
when we invest in the stock market
00:07:30
it's the same one that we have used our
00:07:32
entire investment career we have a
00:07:34
strategy that involves dollar cost
00:07:37
averaging and lump summing you see our
00:07:40
idea is to invest in the stock market
00:07:43
sooner rather than later so whenever we
00:07:45
have a large amount of money that is
00:07:48
available to invest in the stock market
00:07:50
we usually invest it sooner rather than
00:07:52
later by lumps summing it into the
00:07:54
market but whenever we are receiving
00:07:57
income on a weekly or a monthly basis we
00:08:00
invest that money by dollar cost
00:08:02
averaging it into the market you see at
00:08:05
a time like this where there is a lot of
00:08:07
volatility people get nervous first of
00:08:11
all let's face the bottom line no one
00:08:13
can predict the direction of the market
00:08:16
in the short term but historically we
00:08:18
have seen the stock market always
00:08:20
recover and go higher my advice to you
00:08:23
is you should do whatever you feel
00:08:25
comfortable with but keep in mind that
00:08:28
you will be very anxious if you are
00:08:30
watching your portfolio at a time like
00:08:32
this and so if you do have a large sum
00:08:35
of money and you are interested in
00:08:36
investing in the market right now as a
00:08:38
lump suum rather than dollar cost
00:08:40
averaging then my recommendation is to
00:08:43
do it and walk away don't think about it
00:08:46
anymore because most people fail at lump
00:08:50
suum investing because of the anxiety
00:08:52
involved in it they think they have a
00:08:54
highrisk tolerance and so they say I
00:08:56
have $10,000 I'm going to put that
00:08:58
$110,000 in the stock market but when
00:09:00
they see that 10,000 go to 9 to8 they
00:09:03
get nervous pull it out and they've lost
00:09:06
money because they didn't stay the
00:09:08
course they didn't stay in as a
00:09:10
long-term investor but a long-term
00:09:12
investor can feel completely comfortable
00:09:15
lump summing $10,000 in the market and
00:09:17
watching it fall all the way to 5,000
00:09:19
because they know over the long term
00:09:22
that money is going to recover and go
00:09:24
higher and so if you are a person that
00:09:26
will be anxious about seeing a large sum
00:09:29
of money that you put in the stock
00:09:30
market go up and down then lump summing
00:09:33
is probably not for you you are probably
00:09:35
better off with one of these other four
00:09:37
strategies that are a take on dollar
00:09:39
cost averaging and dollar cost averaging
00:09:42
is a great way to invest in the stock
00:09:44
market because you are investing a fixed
00:09:46
amount of money every week every month
00:09:48
whether the market is up or down it
00:09:50
really Smooths out the purchase price
00:09:53
over time avoiding emotional investing
00:09:56
and it also ensures you're always taking
00:09:59
advantage of Market declines without
00:10:02
Panic selling or timing mistakes history
00:10:05
has proven that staying in the market is
00:10:07
more important than timing the market
00:10:10
since 1926 the S&P 500 has recovered
00:10:14
from every single bare Market eventually
00:10:17
hitting new highs so the bottom line
00:10:19
instead of waiting for the perfect
00:10:21
moment to invest in the stock market
00:10:23
focus on consistency keep investing stay
00:10:27
disciplined and let time do the work I
00:10:31
hope that this video has given you guys
00:10:32
food for thought when you are developing
