Original Research (free datasets, citable)
- S&P 500 DCA Study: we simulated $100/month for 10 years into every current S&P 500 constituent with full history. Key findings: only ~35% of stocks beat a same-schedule SPY plan; the median stock returned far less than the index; ~1 in 10 stocks LOST money despite a decade of disciplined buying. Full per-stock dataset downloadable as CSV/JSON (attribution: link the study).
- How Often Should You DCA?: weekly vs biweekly vs monthly tested on 10 years of real SPY and BTC closes with equal yearly contributions — the cadence gap is roughly a rounding error; automation matters, the calendar does not.
- Lump sum vs DCA win rates: the "historical outperformance percentage" computed live from our validated series across every rolling window (SPY, BTC, Gold).
