Crypto Investing: Is It Time To Dollar Cost Average?

Caleb & Brown

Caleb & Brown is the world’s leading cryptocurrency brokerage. Learn more here. With so much diversity in the ways successful investors have made their fortunes on Wall Street, it is hard to come to a consensus on what comprises sound investment advice. What appears to be excellent advice to a value investor, for example, may be considered a death sentence to a growth investor. Similarly, some practices that day traders consider sacred could never be replicated by swing traders. Despite the countless and contrasting opinions, there’s perhaps one idea that most successful investors would agree on: To be a successful investor, you often have to exhibit behaviors that go against human nature. For value investors, this could mean holding onto losing positions while waiting for economic conditions to improve. For growth investors, this could mean cutting losses immediately when a stop is triggered. For traders, it could mean buying as the stock has made a new high instead of waiting for “bargain” prices (William O’Neil is famous for advocating this behavior in his book ‘How To Make Money in Stocks’). These activities are all difficult because they go against human instincts. It is not instinctive to accept being wrong with grace, to patiently wait for opportunities to arise while watching others play, or to buy a product you could have gotten cheaper at another time, but successful traders exhibit these behaviors all the time. In the world of value investing, one such behavior is dollar-cost averaging, and one of its biggest proponents is billionaire business magnate Warren Buffett. What Is Dollar-Cost Averaging? Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is the practice of systematically investing equal amounts of money at regular intervals, regardless of the price of the asset. This method is championed by value investors, like Warren Buffett, who choose to invest in companies that meet certain fundamental criteria and bet on them long-term. DCA can lower the overall impact of price volatility by decreasing the investor’s average cost per share and avoiding the risky and stressful game of bottom-hunting. Consider the following example: Hal purchases 100 shares of XYZ Company at $10. As XYZ Company drops to $9, Hal purchases another 100 shares. At $8, Hal purchases yet another 100 shares. At this point, Hal holds 300 shares of XYZ Company at an average price of $9 (8+9+10)/3). If the stock rises to $9, Hal will be breakeven on the trade, while an investor who simply purchased 100 shares at $10 will be down $100. Continuing the example above — if Hal continues to buy shares as XYZ Company oscillates between $8 and $10, and then XYZ Company rises to $15, the investor will suddenly have a significantly larger profit than the investor who placed a one-time purchase at $10. Thus, DCA also allows investors to accumulate substantial positions, potentially at a cheaper average price. The two most important factors of DCA are the conviction in the asset the investor is dollar-cost averaging into and the time horizon they have set for the DCA process. Many professionals advise investors to DCA into the most secure investment vehicles like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA: SPY) or the Nasdaq Composite Index (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) over an extended period of time — usually five to 10 years. A finding by Official Data shows that dollar-cost averaging $100 per month into the S&P 500 from 1900 to 2022 would have yielded about $7.6 million. Because of its ease and simplicity, DCA has been hailed by many as a default mode of wealth generation. Warren Buffett famously says, “If you like spending six to eight hours per week working on investments, do it. If you don’t, then dollar-cost average into index funds.” Considerations In A Bear Market With 2022’s bearish stamp on the equities and cryptocurrency markets, investors may be wondering whether it’s an appropriate time to start their own DCA streams. It should be noted that while DCA could reduce volatility and help investors build for the future, each person’s risk tolerance is different. The best practice for those who do not call finance a profession is to consult a professional as to whether this is the best course of action for you. Luckily, several traditional equities brokerages and banks like Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE: TD) and Interactive Brokers Group Inc. (NASDAQ: IBKR) provide DCA options. As the world’s leading cryptocurrency brokerage, Caleb & Brown also offers investors insight into the DCA process with a specific and expert focus on the cryptocurrency space. If you’re planning on investing in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) or any other cryptocurrency in the 2022 market and you’re considering DCA as a potential strategy, head over to Caleb & Brown and connect with your very own personal broker.

Let The Experts Guide You Through Crypto Winter

Caleb & Brown

This educational guide exploring How To Protect Crypto Assets in a Bear Market was created in conjunction with Caleb & Brown and Benzinga. Caleb & Brown is the world’s leading cryptocurrency brokerage. Learn more here. 2022 has proven a challenging year for cryptocurrencies and equities so far. At the time of writing, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA: SPY), Nasdaq Composite (INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) and SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA) have declined by 25%, 35% and 20%, respectively, from their 2021 highs. Cryptocurrency has mirrored these declines, albeit with greater intensity. The Bitcoin (BTC) price has come down to a low roughly 75% off its all-time-high, and Ethereum’s (ETH) price has declined to a low ~82% off its all-time-high. Altcoins like Solana (SOL), Polygon (MATIC) and Dogecoin (DOGE), all of which were stellar 2021 performers, have been dragged in the tracks left by their larger market cap counterparts, seeing their prices decline approximately 87%, 72% and 90% since their 2021 highs. A report by IMFBlog, a blog on economic and financial insights run by the government-backed International Monetary Fund (IMF), concludes, “There’s growing interconnectedness between virtual assets and financial markets,” leading many to believe that while poor macroeconomic conditions persist, cryptocurrencies will likely remain in their dire state. Despite what the headlines may suggest, there’s no need to panic. Volatile periods are typical in the crypto market. What’s important in these periods is to protect mental and financial capital and avoid catastrophic behaviors. For Caleb & Brown, the world’s leading cryptocurrency brokerage, helping investors navigate the complexities of buying, selling and swapping cryptocurrency is a core function of their business. Through their personalized broker service, investors gain access to experts with a wealth of experience in navigating crypto markets. What’s more: Caleb & Brown’s brokers are available 24/7, ready to discuss every concern, idea or speculation. Whether you’re mapping out a hedging strategy, considering dollar-cost averaging (DCA) or aiming to learn more about cryptocurrency in general, C&B’s brokers can guide you through it all. Using Key Indicators And Performance Road Maps As Guides Like Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN) and Interactive Brokers Group Inc. (NASDAQ: IBKR), Caleb & Brown provides top-of-the-line brokerage services at affordable rates and exceptional speed. Unlike its two counterparts, however, Caleb & Brown prides itself on providing a personal touch to its brokerage services for crypto beginners and sophisticated investors alike. This allows the company to help investors understand the market and their own goals so they can determine an investment strategy. For example, through consultations with brokers, Caleb & Brown will allow investors to: Appropriately diversify their crypto portfolios based on their risk tolerance Seek education about altcoins and learn about their risk and reward potentials Use key indicators, like all-time highs and market dominance, to tailor a strategy and time horizon for future returns Protect their gains by making sure risk is well-managed and hasty decisions are avoided As opposed to being a platform where one simply executes trades, Caleb & Brown’s personalized experience creates an environment for investors to upskill, learning about key investing concepts, such as risk management, and wealth-building concepts with a broker by their side. Speaking on this topic, the company says on its website, “We say it as it is, investing in crypto is not always smooth sailing. That’s why we exist, to help you navigate the complexity and reduce the risk, so that you can capitalize on this transformative asset class and build a better future.” The End Of The World? Contrary to prominent news headlines, all is not lost. Bear markets and crypto winters are cyclical occurrences that provide a necessary cool-off period for the economy before the next bull run. Every bear market in history has replicated this cyclical process. Even Bitcoin’s recent 70%+ declines have been seen at least three times before, as discussed in a previous article. The market can be a noisy and confusing place, but it doesn’t have to be. Enjoy peace of mind thanks to the education and personalised service of Caleb & Brown’s crypto brokers here. Are you interested in gauging if now could be the right time to invest in crypto? If so, read this previous article in this series here, to learn about the tried-and-test dollar-cost averaging investment technique to get started.

Knowing When To Take Your Foot Off The Gas — Things To Keep In Mind In A Bear Market

Caleb & Brown

This educational guide exploring How To Protect Crypto Assets in a Bear Market was created in conjunction with Caleb & Brown. Caleb & Brown is the world’s leading cryptocurrency brokerage. Learn more here. For many inexperienced investors, the transition between the 2021 bull market and the 2022 bear market may have had dramatic effects on their portfolios. The simple reason is that both equities and cryptocurrencies do not behave the same way in a bull market as they do in a bear market. This seems like such a common sense conclusion that it’s barely worth stating, but, for those who have never experienced both ends of the market spectrum, it’s worth repeating. Investing in a bull market is like swimming with the tide. Guided by the strength of the current, your strokes lead you to your intended destination with ease. Investing in the 2021 bull market was more like swimming in the direction of a tsunami: A purchase of Bitcoin (BTC) Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) made on Jan. 1, 2021, resulted in 120%, 227% and 1,350% returns, respectively, by April 15 of the same year. Imagine the psychological conditioning one developed as a new crypto investor in 2021. The values that have been proven to be wealth generators in the market — discipline, patience, risk management and knowledge — were all seemingly tossed out of the window. Abandoning these prudent principles may be covered up in a bull market, but in bear markets, they shine like diamonds in a field of coal. As discussed in a previous post, bear markets may provide the opportunity for bargain-picking certain assets, both traditional and digital, but they must be approached differently to bull markets. Here’s how to stay on the right course. Know Thyself First on the Bear Market Survival Guide is self-reflection. No one can tell you what kind of drop in your portfolio you can handle, or what your relationship to risk is. Investors sit on different ends of the risk-tolerance spectrum, and it’s your obligation to know where you lie. This is particularly important in bear markets, as portfolios decline and paper losses materialize. Knowing your personal risk tolerance helps you avoid catastrophic behavioral impulses like panic selling or, on the other end of the spectrum, aggressive buying. Consider the following examples as reflections of the catastrophic nature of both behaviors: As discussed in a previous article, panic selling an investment in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA: SPY) at the end of 2009 would have yielded a 57% loss on an investor’s portfolio (assuming they had made their purchase at 2007’s top). If held until the peak of 2022, this loss would’ve been a 450% gain. Starting at $100,000, panic selling in 2009 would have yielded a portfolio value of $43,000, while holding until 2022 would have yielded a portfolio value of $450,000. Similarly, aggressively buying risky crypto coins like Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) in February 2022 would have yielded a nearly 80% drop in value by June. In four months, a $100,000 investment would have dropped to $20,000. Aggressively buying risky investments may have yielded spectacular results in the midst of a bull market, but in a bear market, it could mark the end of your investing career. The first step to preventing that outcome is knowing your risk tolerance. The second is considering that you are in a bear market and that behaviors that worked before may not work now. Let The Professionals Guide You Self-awareness and self-control are keys to success in the investing field, but that doesn’t mean you have to develop these skills on your own. By enlisting help from experienced professionals, traders can shorten the learning curve required to adopt a psychological edge in the market. For Caleb & Brown, providing investors with the tools and knowledge to make sound decisions in bear markets is a fundamental business pursuit.

The Best Way To Survive A Bear Market? Some Say, “Do Nothing”

Caleb & Brown

This educational guide exploring How To Protect Crypto Assets in a Bear Market was created in conjunction with Caleb & Brown. Caleb & Brown is the world’s leading cryptocurrency brokerage. Learn more here. Between 2007 and 2009, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA: SPY) declined by 56.8% — the greatest price fall in the exchange-traded fund’s (ETF) history. Few could prepare for the psychological toll of that kind of drop. At the time, many had been informed that index funds and ETFs were safe bets. Undoubtedly, professionals would have informed investors that the S&P 500 had survived two world wars and presidential assassinations, and that the 2008 crash, in due time, would be just another addition to that list. Without help from professionals, it takes substantial willpower and courage to stop emotions from taking over during tough times. However, it is the decisions you make at these pivotal moments that could define the trajectory of your wealth. History tells the story in vivid detail: Since the SPY’s apocalyptic decline between 2007 and 2009, the S&P 500 has increased by more than 450%. In a world which celebrates quick fortunes, it takes a special kind of person to appreciate the value of time as a compounder of wealth. For business magnate Warren Buffett, times of crisis represent buying opportunities. In a 1997 letter to shareholders, Buffett wrote, “Smile when you read a headline that says: ‘Investors lose as market falls.’ Edit it in your mind to, ‘ Dis investors lose as market falls — but investors gain.’” Investors gain by getting bargains and avoiding the panic sell. Here’s how to do the same. Average Wins Versus Losses In Bull And Bear Markets The stock market’s history and the figures surrounding bull and bear markets support the argument that time is a great investing tool. By widening time horizons, traders and investors can avoid panic selling in times of crisis and maintain low-cost positions in anticipation of the next bull market. Here are some figures to support this idea: According to Hartford Funds, stocks lose 36% on average in bear markets and gain 110% on average in bull markets. There have been 26 bear markets – as defined by a drop of over 20% – in the S&P 500 Index since 1928, and 27 bull markets. On average, bull market gains far outweigh bear market losses. The average length of a bear market is 289 days (0.8 years), while the average length of a bull market is 991 days (2.7 years). In 98 years of market history, stocks have been on the rise 78% of the time. The figures above are in line with the idea of an ever-growing economy with occasional drops — corrections or recessions — ultimately fueling future growth. This is reflected in the cryptocurrency market, as well. Holding Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) over any five-year span has always resulted in financial gain. Avoiding The Panic Sell? In his book “The Psychology of Money,” Morgan Housel says, “A genius who loses control of their emotions can be a financial disaster. The opposite is also true. Ordinary folks with no financial education can be wealthy if they have a handful of behavioral skills that have nothing to do with formal measures of intelligence.” One of the greatest behavioral skills the long-term investor can develop is the ability to do nothing in times of crisis. While seemingly counterintuitive, the figures above, and the greatest value investor of our time, tell us this is sound advice. Acting rationally on this information, however, can be difficult when emotions are tied to investors’ money. Objectivity, patience and calm are key. For Caleb & Brown, the world’s leading cryptocurrency brokerage, providing investors with education and professional guidance is a fundamental business value. Unlike exchanges and other brokerages that just provide a platform to execute trades, Caleb & Brown offers personalized service, and is available 24/7 to help clients better understand and navigate the crypto markets through bearish conditions and bull runs. When emotions start to take control of the wheel, it never hurts to have a professional who’s just a phone call away by your side. Make sure you’ve got the guidance you require to help you avoid the panic sell. Click here to learn more about Caleb & Brown.

Is This A Robotics Company With No True Competitors? Meet AvaWatz

AvaWatz Inc.

In many collaborative industries, effective communication, project management and systems for effective teamwork are now considered essential. As the demand for robots increases in various industries, the need for collaborative robots (cobots) is also seemingly rising — basic robots might not be able to effectively complete various tasks for companies that demand collaborative elements without complicated programming to do so. AvaWatz Inc. is a decision intelligence tech firm that supplies for the growing demand for cobots. The company created a product platform called ARYA that enables teams of mobile robotic agents to work together — either independently or alongside human partners — to perform complex multipart tasks. Powerful machine-learning methods combine the capabilities of individual mobile robots into a unified system for collaborative detection, decisioning and action. ARYA is scalable to support a range of indoor and outdoor scenarios. Cobots can be used in a variety of fields to perform tasks that are too difficult, dangerous or tedious for humans alone. Cobot teams are adaptable and might help solve challenging problems for public- and private-sector customers in industries such as the military, aviation, search and rescue, construction, infrastructure and transportation. The U.S. Air Force, Army and Department of Homeland Security are funding AvaWatz research and development to advance the existing technology. As robotic technology increases — as has been seen in recent years with the development of drones, self-driving cars and industrial mobile robots — the need for learning platforms that can assist cobot teams may also increase. An Emerging Field With Unique Opportunity And Growth? AvaWatz is a unique company because wherever there is a need for cobot teams, there is a need for programming to make them work. The company says it doesn’t have any true competitors yet because robotic manufacturers are customers, not competitors. Cobots likely aren’t going away anytime soon. In 2021, the global collaborative robots market size was valued at $1.01 billion and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 31.5% from 2022 to 2030. More than 500 companies are making products in the robotic industry, and because of the adaptability of AvaWatz technology, they are potential customers. AvaWatz says it has the technology to reach a huge market with virtually no competitors and only potential clients. This is a feat few companies might be able to boast of. Discover what the AvaWatz investment opportunity involves by clicking the offer link: https://www.startengine.com/avawatz AvaWatz is a decision-intelligence company charting a new frontier in “Cobots” - collaborative air and ground robots.
