>Should I buy slowly or quickly? It's my understanding that it's best to buy often and smaller than lumpsum and infrequently due to compounding but also not buy too low that trading fees rape you.

Go all-in now. In 1-2 years we are going to 3000-4000.

Based on what? That's what they say every year SENPAI(Same with the opposite)

Well

Can someone reply without memes

Buy the dip. Market is inflated right now.

Compounding interest in the way you described it is a meme. Compounding interest means that you make an investment and your investment makes you some money. That money is reinvested, and you are then gaining interest on money that you already got from getting interest on your money. It will behoove you to simply go all in next time there is a dip and things seem to settle just a bit, but before they rebound.

That's my point. If I just plop the whole thing in at once I miss out on further dips.

I could anticipate a dip for years and miss out on a whole slew of gains or "buy the dip" too early and don't get to buy the real low.

Do this in the future when you have more money to put in. Just remember not to sell when the market dips. You can't gain any interest (compound or otherwise) on money you don't invest.
