[QUOTE="Mr. Coin Lover, post: 804339, member: 16060"]I have a question here. When you have a mutual fund it is easy to dollar cost average.

To really try to successfully dollar cost average bullion coins wouldn't one almost have to try to also do at least a little market timing which is whole other game in itself? If someone would have bought 10 ASE's each month in '09 on the 3rd Thursday of each month I'm wondering what would have been the profit or loss for the year? Realize I'm asking all this, and I truly don't know. But, historically doesn't silver have a month or two where the price tends to be down?
