How many shares of SA would I have after DCA for 5 years?

Question 6

How does SA DCA compare to the S&P 500?

Accepted Answer

Enhanced DCA into SA returned 112% over the past 5 years. The S&P 500 (SPY) returned approximately 53% over the same period. SA's performance reflects its volatility as a materials asset. Enhanced DCA outperformed standard DCA by 28%, demonstrating the value of intelligent entry timing during market dips.

Question 7

What is the risk of dollar cost averaging into SA?

Accepted Answer

Past backtest performance does not guarantee future results. SA is a materials 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 Seabridge Gold Inc. dollar cost averaging strategy?

Accepted Answer

Standard DCA invests a fixed amount ($100/week or $433/month) into SA 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 28% higher returns than standard DCA while deploying more total capital into SA.
