A small remark: buying at the ATH is a better strategy than waiting for a setback. This has been examined and proven umpteen times. Clearly and unequivocally. The old saying applies: "Time in the market beats timing the market." Always.

@Charmin I have had 100% of this experience. The stocks that I bought at or close to the ATH (Alphabet, Ferrari, ...) are doing much better on average than stocks that I bought 30-40% below the high (Vodafone, Shell, Recordati...). I only have two stocks where the "buy the dip" has really worked so far and I didn't buy them "on instinct", but because the news situation and sentiment really didn't match.

@DieEnte7 The reason is another: the hoped-for setback is not coming ...

@Charmin I understand what you mean and I fully agree with you, especially when it comes to savings plans, which I always keep running. But my strategy so far has always been to hold cash on the sidelines and add larger amounts in bear markets or during corrections - not at the ATH. I don't buy during bull runs, but when everyone wants out - with crypto just as with equities. If you're fully invested, you can't buy more when opportunities arise. That's the point for me.

@Charmin Basically correct, but I have to disagree with Bitcoin. Lump sum beats DCA, but it's not worth waiting for the dip or the crash at every point!
