I am simply saying most small investors pick their entry points high, when they are excited about a market, and their exit point low, when they are disheartened. This is the greatest strength of DCA to me, to stop this poor decision making. You have seen this, most small investors when choosing a fund will automatically choose the one with the highest return last year.
