Reading the Pepe table
The spread between the best and worst starting year is the whole story of PEPE: 2024 turned $1,000 into $2,440, while 2025 turned it into $178. Same coin, same holding discipline, different entry.
Annualised return is the fairer comparison across rows, since a purchase in 2024 has had far longer to compound than one in 2026. Worst drawdown shows the deepest fall each position took from its own peak, which is what a holder actually had to sit through.
If the entry date matters this much
That is the argument for spreading purchases out. The Pepe DCA calculator runs the same price history with a fixed weekly or monthly buy instead of a single date.
