Last week, as major market indices slid into correction territory, I seized the opportunity to dip into my reserve funds and made my initial investment. This move was largely influenced by recent policy decisions from the current U.S. President, which have stirred uncertainty in the American and global economy. Market volatility follows uncertainty, leading to the recent sell-off.
Lately, I’ve observed financial YouTubers and analysts urging investors to “buy the dip.” Some suggest purchasing when indices drop by 10%, while others rely on specific economic indicators to guide their timing. However, few have detailed a clear, step-by-step approach for investing during a market correction. In this discussion, I’ll outline the method I’ve employed and explain why I chose to invest last week.
