<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1173642, member: 26302&quot;]Just as an aside, I would like to see those comparisons someday. I have seen many models showing long term DCA can be preferential to lump sum investing in many markets, less preferable in others. Also, are you accounting for TVM in your calcs? The keys to it are: Timing of lump sum obviously, interperiod volatility, and your TVM assumptions. If someone would LIKE to put 100k in an investment, but has to borrow it to lump sum in, that creates a very high TVM. These assumptions are all variable, and depending on them will easily cause models to skew. Maybe a off topic point many here don&#039;t care about. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>That said, if someone wanted to use another methodology to force an investor to break bad habits fine. I just find DCA easy to understand and get acceptance from non-financial people.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
