When Shiga toxin is released from an E. coli O157:H7 bacterium, it can translocate to organs other than the digestive tract such as the kidneys and central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). This can cause hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and/or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) .
A strategy called dollar-cost averaging can help reduce risks surrounding an asset falling in price. The concept is straightforward - you invest a fixed amount of money in an asset once every fixed time period.
In a quarter of the simulations, dollar-cost averaging with $1 million beat the lump sum approach by $43,000 or more, and in 5% of the cases dollar-cost averaging beat lump sum investing by more than $200,000.
