Don’t just SIP. Buy the dips too

Came across this interesting piece in the paper today. It talks about blending a regular SIP strategy with occasional dip-buying using ETFs, especially when markets drop sharply (say more than 1%).

The idea is that while SIPs bring in discipline, dip-buying adds that tactical edge during corrections. If done calmly and with proper planning. They even mention setting aside 5–10% of your allocation just for such dips.

Has anyone tried this combo before? What worked or didn’t for you?
