<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1155362, member: 22143&quot;]The perfect time is when you need the money.&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;m not trying to sound trite which that comment could easily be taken that way but people end up selling when they feel they have to, and this rarely coincides with gains or losses.&nbsp;&nbsp; Either they must have the money, or they feel they must sell to protect what assets they have left, or some circumstance changes that forces them to sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is nothing wrong with setting aside a bit of money to buy investments each month. In fact this should be encouraged, however this isn&#039;t an investment strategy.&nbsp;&nbsp; i.e. It makes no sense to buy a particular asset because 1. it&#039;s getting more expensive and hence you own less risk, or hence 2. it&#039;s getting cheaper so you can get more of it.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is the DCA strategy.&nbsp;&nbsp; You should only buy an investment once you have done the research and then evaluate each purchase when you make it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
