 One, two, three, four, and five. That's right, guys, with $5 every single day, I invested inside of the stock market into one particular ETF. Now I know what you guys are saying, what if the price shot up? What if the price did? What if the stock tank? What do you do then? It doesn't matter. I invested $5 every single day, whether the price was up or if the price was down. And I'm gonna show you guys the results of my one year investment inside one ETF with just $5 every single market day. I'm gonna show you guys how much I made, how much I might have lost. And then I'm gonna show you guys the benefits of dollar-cost averaging. That is what the strategy is called. Now dollar-cost averaging is the practice of investing a fixed dollar amount on a regular basis, regardless of the share price. It's a good way to develop a disciplined investing habit, be more efficient in how you invest and potentially lower your stress levels. As well as your cost. Now dollar-cost averaging is by far the easiest way to invest for beginner investors. In fact, very advanced investors use this exact same strategy. So why not use the same strategy that millionaires, multimillionaires and some billionaires are using their sales? Why not do it yourself with just $5 and you could do it with even less if you wanted to. So to make dollar-cost averaging very clear, no matter what the price point is, let's say a company starts off at $100. I buy $5 worth of that company. Let's say the next week it shoots up to $120. I'm gonna buy $5 still. Let's say the following week it pulls all the way back down to $75. Huge drop, gonna buy another $5. Stays at $75, I buy another $5. And it shoots right back up to $100 by the end of the quarter. You buy another $5, right? So if you bought in $25 at the beginning of the quarter when it was at $100 and then at the end of the quarter it's still at $100, then you made no money at all. But if you dollar-cost average, you bought it at 100, you overpaid for it at 120 and then you underpaid at $70, $75. Now your average price, that's why they call it average price because as you buy the dips you lower your dollar-cost average. That means when this company pulls back up to $100 at the end of the quarter, you're actually sitting in profits, guys. Now I did invest $5 every single day until the ETF call spied at the very high point at the spied all-time highs last year. That's when I started my re-encouraging investment into SPY last year. And as you guys already know the market took a major dip over the last year. So you're probably wondering how much did I lose? Did I beat the market? Did dollar-cost averaging actually help me make profit? Well, stick throughout the entire video because I got two different scenarios. I actually started a dollar-cost average at the top of the market and I started another dollar-cost average somewhere around the middle or bottom of the market. I'm gonna show you guys how easy and stress-free this investing strategy is. So make sure you stick that to the entire video so you don't miss out on any crucial information.

Now as you guys know over the last year we have been pulling back looking like that we were heading inside a recession. So investing at the top was not the brightest idea but the power of dollar cost averaging might have helped me out. So over the last year, as you guys can see spy is sitting at $421. When I started this investment I started around $440 and spy is down 4.2% from last year. So some of you new investors are wondering what is ETF? Is it a strange trade of fun? And basically spy is one of the most popular ones especially because they have the cool tickle symbol SPY that has shown that because they have the tickle symbol SPY they do better than most of the ETFs that basically do the same thing that they do. But the ETF has multiple different companies inside their portfolio. So it's a great, it's an easy way to diversify your own portfolio. So spy has over 500 and 7506 different companies inside their portfolio. Here's their top 10 holdings right here. As you guys can see they have Apple that's their top holding Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla, Alphabet Class A which is Google, Brickenshire Hathaway, United Health, NVIDIA, and Johnson and Johnson. So all of these companies are inside the S&P 500. These are the top 500 companies inside of the United States. So if you're wondering, hey I thought you said it was gonna be stress free. Why do I have to log into this app every single day just to buy $5? What if I get out of a sponsor buy every day at 12 o'clock? Don't worry about it guys. Over on Robinhood, you can hit trade, you can hit buy, and then at the top right where it says shares, you could click that and then you could set up a re-incurring investment which is the third one right there. So once you do that, you can set it for every market day, Monday through Friday, you can set it for every week, every two weeks, or even once a month. So once you click that, and then you're gonna come to how much you wanna invest every single day, you can hit $5, you can hit $25 a week, $25 a day, $25 a month. It doesn't matter whatever you feel comfortable investing with. So enough talking, let's go ahead and show you guys the results of investing at an all-time high. Then I'm gonna show you guys another ETF. I'm also a dollar cost averaging it in. Take a symbol, V.O.O. when I bought in, not at an all-time high. Spy is down 4.2% over the last year. If we scroll down, I accumulated over three shares with fractional shares with just $5 a day over the last year. The market value of my shares is $1,272.78. And as you guys can see, I am down 2%. But it's just not a year thing, guys. Dollar cost averaging take multiple years. You can't just judge it off of one recession, pullback type of year. But let me go in and show you guys the numbers. So with me doing absolutely nothing at all, I outperformed the market. I outperformed the market by doing nothing at all. I set up a dollar cost average. I set up a re-encuring investment and I outperformed the stock market by 2%, all right? So that is a great thing about dollar cost averaging is that when the market's not doing so well, you are also protecting your portfolio by buying the dips. So we click on SBY or re-encuring investment as you guys can see right here. My average price is $432. The current price is $421, so we are down 2%. I made my first purchase on August 9th, 2021 for $442.32. So with me buying a dip, other than me throwing a lump sum, let's say $10,000 at $442, now we'll be down a whole bunch of money compared to now. Now my average price is $432 by dollar cost averaging into the market. So every month I invest around $100 and ever since I started, I invested $1,305 starting on August 9th. If I continue to do this by August 9th, 2023, I will have invested $2,515. So yes, I did outperform the stock market, but unfortunately I down, but let me show you guys another situation with ticker symbol VOO. I had made a video not too long ago showing you guys that I'm gonna start a dollar cost averaging in on VOO. And some do say, why are you doing VOO? You already got spy inside your portfolio. Shut up. I'm doing it for YouTube to make these videos for y'all. So shut up, hit that thumbs up button and subscribe. But yeah, over on VOO over the last year, they're down 4.27%. Let's scroll down. I think I had another share of VOO before I entered, but let me show you guys, so let's click right here. Bam, as you guys can see, right there when I first placed this order, I bought it at $396.43. Wow, so I didn't buy the all-time long show, you guys, you do not have to time the market. I did not buy it at an all-time low. I bought it at a medium level at $396. That was when I first made my $5 investment, right? Right there, my average price is $378 and VLO current price is $387. So my average price is lower than the current price. That mean I made a big profit right there, guys, by buying the dip, by dollar cost averaging in, by buying the lows and also buying the highs every single day at the same time. I was able to come out and outperform the market and actually have a profit, but this is just over the last six months or so. I'm gonna do another update on VLO when this one hits a year. So if you guys wanna see how this turns out, make sure you subscribe to the channel so you don't miss out on this update. But that's it, guys. That's the power of investing around $5 a day inside of the stock market. If we look at Coca-Cola, if you invested $5 a day into Coca-Cola ever since the 1985, 1986, you would have well over half a million dollars by just $5 a day. That's less than a Starbucks coffee that I see people drink every day. That's less than a pack of cigarettes that I see people smoke every day. That's less than a Big Mac from McDonald's that I see people eat every single day. You can find a way to invest $5, $25 a week into the stock market to where if you invested to a good, quietly company, city and forget it, years down the line, you can have well over half a million dollars. I think with Coca-Cola, you have over $600,000 from just $5 a day. That is an awesome way to retire guys. And also you'll be collecting those dividends.
