The introduction (but nowhere in the rest of the article) makes a distinction between Dollar Cost Averaging (where you spread out a windfall over some period of time) and systematic investing (SI; where you regularly invest income as you get it). I suspect the author would not advocate for saving up your weekly paycheck and investing it as a large chunk.

> The difference between DCA and SI is that in DCA you have all the money available since the beginning, but in SI you have to wait until the next month to have access to the quantity to be invested.
