Accepted Answer

Question 7

What is the risk of dollar cost averaging into GOLF?

Accepted Answer

Past backtest performance does not guarantee future results. GOLF is a consumer discretionary asset whose price can fall as well as rise. While DCA reduces timing risk by spreading purchases over time, losses are still possible if the price declines significantly. Always invest within your risk tolerance and consider your overall portfolio diversification.

Question 8

What is the Acushnet Holdings Corp. dollar cost averaging strategy?

Accepted Answer

Standard DCA invests a fixed amount ($100/week or $433/month) into GOLF at regular intervals. Enhanced DCA improves on this by using RSI (Relative Strength Index) signals to increase buy amounts during market dips (oversold conditions) and reduce or skip purchases when the stock is overextended. Over the 5-year backtest, this timing approach has delivered 14% higher returns than standard DCA while deploying more total capital into GOLF.
