The normal tendency is to invest more when prices are high and to stop investing when prices fall. This is the opposite of what is the most profitable way of Investing! SIPs force you to follow the opposite approach, this is the real value of SIPs & also benefits you due to Rupee cost average ,power of compounding ,no need to time the market, regular and disciplined approach. ?
