Let's say someone wants to invest $1000 a month. Since timing the market beats time in the market, wouldn't that mean that investing $500 bi-weekly be more beneficial? and if that's the case, wouldn't $250 weekly be even better?
So my question is this: Since time in the market beats timing the market, doesn't that mean that theoretically the best frequency to invest would be daily? (Assuming you had a job that pays you daily which almost nobody does). Would that be the best frequency since you are investing as soon as you have "investable" funds?
And if that's the case, and going back to my example, does that means that weekly > bi-weekly > monthly? And if so, how come more people don't try to do smaller weekly contributions instead of bi-weekly or monthly? Does it even matter in the long run? Are there any fundamental advantages to investing monthly over biweekly or weekly? (Avoiding short-term volatility for example).
