Week 9: Down Week, Zero Emotion. That’s the Power of DCA

Dates Covered: June 15 to 21, 2025

Trading Days This Week: 4 (due to Juneteenth)

📉 Markets Fell. I Didn’t Flinch

This was a quiet week with loud lessons.

Strategy (MSTR, formerly MicroStrategy dropped over 4%.

Bitcoin pulled back.

Even SPY and QQQ finished red.

And with Juneteenth cutting the week short, most people just watched from the sidelines.

But not me.

I still added $200 to my position. Methodically. Unemotionally. Automatically.

Why?

Because this isn’t about predicting.

It’s not about timing.

It’s about trusting the system I built on Day 1.

✅ If you want to automate your own $50/day system like mine, I use Robinhood to stack MSTR with zero commission. Set it and forget it.

Week 9 Lesson: Consistency Is the Weapon

Everybody claims they’re disciplined until the headlines shake them.

Real discipline isn’t loud. It doesn’t announce itself on social media or scream with every dip.

It quietly stacks. It keeps going.

Even when there’s no excitement, no pump, no viral moment.

This was one of those weeks.

No FOMO. No breakout news. No hype.

Just a red market and me showing up anyway.

Most people hit pause when the market drops.

I automate.

That’s not flashy, but it works.

The World’s Panicking. I’m Still Stacking

While the world panics over what could happen between Israel and Iran, and some investors are selling out of fear, I’m still buying.

Not because I’m fearless.

But because my time horizon is 20 years out.

In 20 years, this moment will be a blip.

And the people who stacked through it will be the ones who own the future.

Everyone wants to look smart. I’d rather look boring now and wealthy later.

📉 Weekly Performance Breakdown

Asset Weekly Return

MSTR ▼4.17%

BTC ▼ 1.73%

QQQ ▼ 0.03%

SPY ▼0.39%

Gold (PAXG) ▼ 1.56%

Every asset pulled back this week. Even Bitcoin and gold.

But instead of panicking, I used it to sharpen my edge.

The edge isn’t in picking the perfect asset.

The edge is in being the investor who never stops stacking.

Share Growth Over Time

This chart shows how my MSTR holdings have grown week by week. Even when the market pulls back, my share count keeps climbing. That’s the power of disciplined investing.

Price may fluctuate. Shares are forever. This chart proves it.

🔒 My System Held Firm

Short week.

Red market.

War headlines.

No big catalyst.

Just me and the system.

That’s the whole point.

I’m not here to trade headlines or chase candles.

I’m here to document what real conviction looks like when no one’s watching.

How I Stay Calm When Everyone Else Panics

If you’re the kind of investor who checks your portfolio every 10 minutes or reacts to every geopolitical scare, you’ll never build wealth.

You’ll always be playing defense.

Always reacting.

Always second-guessing.

But when you have a system that doesn’t rely on emotion, everything changes.

My $50/day plan removes:

• The guesswork

• The fear

• The temptation to trade

It gives me one job: show up.

Want to build your crypto conviction long-term? I use Coinbase and Crypto.com to buy and hold BTC. No trading. Just stacking like I do with MSTR.

What If MSTR Drops More?

Let’s say MSTR drops another 10% or even 20%.

What would I do?

The same thing I’ve done every week.

Buy $50 a day. Log it. Repeat.

This isn’t a prediction game.

It’s a positioning game.

And the only way to win it is to stay in it.

Final Thought

Everyone says they want to build wealth.

But the second the market turns red, they pause. They panic. They pull out.

That’s why most people stay stuck.

But not me.

I’m playing a different game. One that doesn’t care what the headlines say this week.
