Beyond the pandemic, the idea of Buy The Dip or BTD has been around. Heck, when I started investing eons ago.. I was a bit perplexed by it. Legit I was like whet! Yet – I proceeded to cop the stock with that nothing. Simply BTD and vibes. I mean - it was a recession..we all were doing the best we could. Sounds a bit familiar, eh?

Well, that trend has continued to evolve throughout the years and popped up during the pandemic. I overstand, yet I want to walk through some steps to keep in mind when it comes to using this strategy to buy stock or crypto. The concept around BTD is that if you catch that asset on sale (from it’s typical high) that you would be able to see the agains when it does rebound. Bargain sale, you know. Even though Uncle Warren Buffet says `` time in the market, not timing the market” -BTD can make it pretty tempting not to see green when the markets are red.

But what if when you BTD, yet the dip keeps dipping? No artichoke. Depending on your risk tolerance + investing goals, this might or might be the strategy for you. I took to Twitter to give some quick thoughts around BTD -

“Every fund isn’t going to give you funds on the rally.”

Just because the news says that the stocks are starting to rally or rebound doesn’t mean that the one you decided to buy will as well. One of my many isms (sayings) - “…find what holds values during the volatility.”

A lot of investors don’t research the buy before they actually buy it. This is how you know if what you are buying is worth the buy or even at a good buy price. Just like Fat Joe said “Yesterday’s Price is Today’s Price” is correct, but how do you know how to price your buy without knowing yesterday’s price along with how the company performs? Conducting research on not only what you want to buy from your watchlist or even your holdings will keep you from shorting your position if it is the wrong fund.

No matter when you’re reading this - there’s some stock that is up or down. Granted, there’s some stocks that were in the sun 5 years ago that might not be shiny in the next 10. And vice versa. Yet, knowing which company fits your pocket or portfolio will determine the position you play it.

A lot of people can go into debt due to not either automating their investing bag (you know on some platforms you can auto-transfer a budgeted amount to invest) or even having a budget for how much they plan to invest monthly. While some feel that they can't get rich off of saving, you can build reserves and build liquidity to build wealth (like investing).

While #BTD and strategies are often searched on Google + Twitter, I want people to not just YOLO it but utilize it for buying opportunities IF the stock, stacks and strategy calls for it! This strategy isn’t for the weak and takes strategy + stamina, Fam. Guard your heart if you play in traffic. Whew.

Have you brought in the dip and it kept dipping? How did it fair you? I would say - keep focused if you. But when it rallys -
