Over time now, I've got to learn on so many things regarding investment, we should not be influenced by our decision base on what others are doing , instead we should sit more tight to discover on how we could also adopt a strategy that may best fit in for our investment and then work on it until we made it a reality, many have been so entangled by what others are doing and they don't seem to understand what is ahead of them or expected of them to do at some point while investing.
Even though I understand the aspect of personalizing the investment process, I still think that learning what others are doing to see if it is ideal for you will save you a lot of time and stress of finding out through experience, because the people using those methods would freely share their experience thereby making this easier for you. Take for instance, majority of us are talking about and using the DCA method, you will do better to check if you can use same instead of going ahead to try to invent your own strategy. This is my understanding of how knowledge is supposed to be and even in the field of science, it follows similar pattern. You can add little improvements to it such as using hybrid system of DCA and buying the dip which means you did not completely jettison what is in existence but simply added little touch to it to make it more effective.
