I missed the first dip but was able to buy exactly at the 2nd dip. I used 1/2 of my "excess emergency money" to do the purchasing. I bought total stock market (Fidelity's version). Those shares are up around 8% now
This was my first go at creating a capital investment plan during pull backs and it seemed to work very nicely. Excited to see what happens the next go around when my system is turned back on.
tax loss harvested out of some expensive funds that my old Financial planner had us in. Invested in some vanguard index funds all around the 1st of September so not at the very bottom. Not sure I made money but I sure love losing about 1% in expense ratio and having some capital losses to use in the future.
