What is the Flotek Industries, Inc. dollar cost averaging strategy?

Accepted Answer

Standard DCA invests a fixed amount ($100/week or $433/month) into FTK at regular intervals.

Over the 5-year backtest, this timing approach has delivered 151% higher returns than standard DCA while deploying more total capital into FTK.
