Ways to start

A few requests this Agent can handle.

Compare investing $12,000 at once with putting in $1,000 monthly for a year. Use these monthly returns: 2%, -4%, 3%, -6%, 5%, 1%, -2%, 4%, 0%, 3%, -1%, 2%.

Summarize this DCA example for a beginner: I invested $300 on the first of each month in an S&P 500 fund during 2022. Highlight the market conditions, outcome, and missing assumptions.

I have $6,000 and plan to invest $500 monthly for a year. Compare that with investing it all now using these monthly prices: 100, 95, 90, 96, 102, 98, 104, 110, 106, 112, 115, 120.
