  • Beware the 'buy the dip' trap amid market volatility
    April 14, 2026, 5:22 PM EDT. Investors are cautioned against the popular strategy to "buy the dip," which can lead to poor returns unless one is an exceptional market timer. The MSCI Canada Index and global markets saw dips in March due to geopolitical tensions, but holding cash waiting for dips carries the risk of missing out on gains as inflation erodes cash value. The article highlights that markets pre-price events quickly and do not wait for investors. Leveraging to buy dips increases risks from interest costs and potential margin calls. Historical data shows fund flows rarely predict market direction, with notable cases in 2000 and 2009 underlining this. The piece underscores that relying solely on dip-buying, especially in bear markets, can be perilous without precise timing or understanding market cycles.
