"Dollar cost averaging" is buying at regular intervals regardless of market conditions. Easily confused with "averaging down" which is buying the dip to get a lower cost per share. Dollar cost averaging only lowers the cost per share when the stock is down but it can increase it if the value of the stock has gone up. --- <D <cite>Zachnorn posted [p:962132613] in Stock Topi...
