<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1155377, member: 3011&quot;]This is the type of misstatement I&#039;m talking about.&nbsp; Nothing could be further from the truth.&nbsp; I know of two other mechanical monthly investment methods that give results that are superior to DCA, and I&#039;m sure there are others.&nbsp; And all of the mechanical methods are probably inferior to a well executed value investment strategy [there are many variations] or to any one of a number of trend following systems that have been successfully used for decades by both professional and amateur traders.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>To be clear, DCA does one and only one thing.&nbsp; It buys stock in a manner that results in an average cost per share that is lower than buying a fixed number of shares each month.&nbsp; This is an improvement for sure, but that is all it does.&nbsp; To say more than that is the type of hype that leads people into making serious investment mistakes because they believe they have a degree of safety that just isn&#039;t present in the system.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But I think enough has been said about DCA [at least by me] so I&#039;ll stop posting about it and let everyone do their own research and decide what fits their personal need.&nbsp; Good luck to all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
