<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1154581, member: 3011&quot;]I read an article years ago, &quot;Twenty Five Ways to Lose Money by Dollar Cost Averaging.&quot;&nbsp; I wish I had saved it.&nbsp; But basically it is a myth that this technique will reduce risk.&nbsp; And it basically outperforms a lump sum investment in only one specific case - where the price is much lower than the starting point for an extended period of time during the program.&nbsp; In all other cases, it increases the average cost and risk.&nbsp; And if the price dip occurs near the end of the program, the losses can be enormous.&nbsp; Your financial planner probably won&#039;t point this out, but you can prove it to yourself by playing with a spreadsheet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
