I contribute a little bit of money each month to a Roth IRA. It's on an automatic draft from my checking account, and goes into a stock index mutual fund. August's investment happened on the 25th, AKA the day when the market totally tanked. Which is awesome. It's rebounded, and per my calculations I've gotten a 6.35% return on that particular investment in the last three days. Now, six percent of a little bit is an even smaller bit, but still, this is what we call dollar cost averaging, working as intended.
