it is very important for a newbie to learn the act of buying consistently and not the habit of holding back money and waiting for the dip before buying, it shows no consistency and the market needs consistent growth, holding back will only reduce the confidence of an investor and as a newbie you need to be confident. In as much as you are buying consistently and aggressively, always make sure that there’s a reserve or emergency funds available.
First lesson to learn from this is that we should not worhold on our investment attempt because such may only be the available opportunity for us to start from somewhere, however, buying the dip should not be in misconception to us with the approach of DCA strategy, because time and opportunity is being included in this regards and we have them both into consideration in choosing the perfect entry point for an investment.
Our fund is not necessarily what we must to use in making an investment upon a particular asset, we can have reserve funds to carter for other things which may cause us to sell, but when we are fully prepared for such, we won't fall under any misuse of opportunity to hold your investment, the emergency fund will always serve it's purpose and we must have it in all sufficiency in other not to alter our holding portfolio.
