Investing - Theory, News & General • Am I Creating A Future Accounting Problem With DCA?

$

Hello Bogleheads.
I have recently started automatic DCA investments every week in my taxable account. The reason I like to do the DCA with auto investments is otherwise if I lump sum it creates a lot of anxiety so either I don't do it or then I watch the market all the time worried that I invested at the wrong time.

I probably won't start selling the investments for 10 years. When I start selling is it going to create an issue trying to figure out which lots are being sold and an accounting nightmare later on? Is there something else I should be doing (other than lump sum) to make it easier later on?

Thanks!
You should always used SpecID for the shares and should always look at what lots are being sold anyway, so you are not creating more work by doing DCA
