VWRL most likely buy zonePeople buy the VWRL ETF to hold it for the long term, therefore we want to know what are the best DCA buy levels to take position intelligently.
General insights:
- The uptrend is broken so we use the Fibonacci Retracement Indicator to pinpoint retracement levels.
- There is an upward trending channel since 2015 and the price seems to have returned moving inside the channel (see rejection of shadow at the upper bound of the channel and the 0.236 fibonacci retracement level)
- This indicates that the price might be heading for the lower bound of the channel to continue in the upward trending channel over time
-We look for extra evidence to predict price development, because the most accurate targets are where multiple pieces of evidence come together. Luckily in this chart we can combine evidence from 2 strong indicators:
1) the Fibonacci retracement indicator levels: The 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level is at 84.64
2) the trend channel: A bounce on the lower bound of the channel is expected between around 82.50
Therefore I expect that the most likely best buy zone is in between 82.50 and 84.64.
However, note that all Fibonacci retracement levels can be considered as buy levels for DCA, see levels and buy levels here:
0.328: 90.98
0.5 84.64
0.618 78.50
Happy trading!
VWRL
Comparing stock index trackersFor a long time now i've been investing in VWRL (FTSE All World Index) as a way of keeping my portfolio diversified and allowing me to take more risk when it comes to individual stocks as most of my money is within this fund. When talking to a friend the other week he has a similar approach but instead of VWRL he's been investing in VUSA (S&P 500 Index tracker) he swears but it and said the returns are better than VWRL.
My curiosity kicked in, as a long term investor i want to get the most value out of my investments as a few pounds now could cost thousand later. With this in mind i decided to do a comparison. My friend was right, long term returns are better on VUSA but it's more heavily weighted to America and also the top Tech Companies taking up 25% of the funds total investment.
Depending on your risk tolerance etc you need to work out what is the best option for you. In terms of historic performance VUSA might be the better play, but more risk involved with all exposure in America.
