Investors often wonder if adding more money when the market drops is a smart move or just a risky gamble. This video looks at 40 years of stock market data to compare different strategies, including buying during downturns, holding steady, or selling when prices fall. The results show how these choices have impacted long-term investing and what they could mean for a portfolio over time.

An investor who started with $10,000 in 1980 and added $2,000 each time the market dropped 8% in a month would have seen their portfolio grow to $2.6 million. If they had simply held their investments without adding more, the total would have reached $1.7 million. Selling during those dips, however, would have left them with just $769,000. These numbers highlight how decisions made during market downturns can have a lasting impact on long-term returns.

Stock market declines are a normal part of investing, and reacting emotionally can make a big difference in overall results. While buying more during downturns has worked in the past, it requires discipline and a clear strategy. No matter the approach, the key takeaway is that panic selling has often led to weaker results, while staying invested has typically helped portfolios grow.
