is investing $100 cash every month into nikko am sti etf worth it ? how long will it take to see the growth ?

 

[Mecisteus]

Some people put in $100 to $200 into useless endowment or investment linked products.

So nothing wrong with $100 into an STI ETF.

You start small, your future value will be small too.

Once you can afford, you can always add or consider some other ETFs.

The objective of investing is to buy a good fundamental product at a good low price and hold or sell in the high.

Investing is not continuously buying a product as the price goes up, or worst as price come down.

Dollar-Cost averaging is an insurance agent way of selling you a product, it's not investing. It benefits the insurance agent and insurance company, but it does not benefit clients.

If you really want to invest, learn how to identify good fundamental counters in a good low price and buy them.

Dollar cost averaging is more of saying u can't predict the future at least in the short term....of course it will affect the long term result in the long run depending on whether u start out buying in a bull market or bear market....if u are dollar cost averaging when prices are going up,it is likely ur future returns will be lower,if u DCA during a bear market,ur returns will most likely be higher....this is under ur assumption that ur investment vehicle is rock solid.

DCA does work on most etf and unit trust, but I do not believe it will work on stocks. I have to agree that what you select have to be rock solid. in spore, maybe Singtel, but with NOL still vivid on our minds, I am not sure what is going to happen to singtel 20 years from now.
