2015 – Dollar Cost Averaging into an Index

If you had invested $1000 in an index ETF every Friday (or last trading day of the week) at the closing price in 2015, how would you have done?



Excludes dividends and trading costs. 

Some brokerages wave the trading cost if investing in certain index ETFs, as long as the investment is held for a certain period of time.

• $SPY – SP500
• $VTI – Total market index
• $QQQ – Nasdaq 100
• $IWM – Russell 2000
• $EEM – Emerging Markets

May add an international ETF for 2016.

Interesting reversal in the market today. Look at the $EMM - Emerging Markets. Whoosh...

Still in cash and sitting on hands.  Don't imagine going back long full time until the Fall.  We shall see.  

I wonder if the selling is over or not.  I think even with the FED QE FOREVER we'd get a correction here and there along the way from here to the moon.  Maybe not.  Sure a strange year.  Folks say this is the most hated bull market ever.  Not sure that's the case.  It's just that it seems that economic data and earnings numbers don't matter as much these days.  Or, maybe it's just that the world wants US stocks and nothing else.

Except $EEM today, that is.  Whoosh.  LOL.

Ah, money market return rates really suck...  bah.
