Can we make more money by investing only when the market falls by more than 5 percent ?
Idea sounds good until we take a look at the numbers. But, don't forget we might also miss some good market runs if we don't invest.
I tested the monthly data from Jan 2009 to Jan 2021. Making investment at the end of month, we acccumulated 10191 Niftybees whose value at the end of Jan 2021 was 14.8 Lakh.
Total amount invested was 7.19 Lakhs.
But, if we keep on accumulating the money and invest only when the market falls by more than 5 percent. We had 9260 Niftybees whose value is 13.52 Lakhs.
If we keep SIP on, we will make 9.46 percent more returns in NIFTYBEES.
I have not considered any returns on the accumulated money that is lying idle in the bank. If we consider that too, more or less returns will be same.
