This might seem heresy to some... but I think that's still perfectly acceptable, particularly if you agree averaging in / out removes
fear &
greed from the equation
and makes you a better investor (
and again, it's no more expensive than investment fund fees).
The stock market
and investments are pretty much purely motivated by profit
and greed (
again, that important distinction) which leads to companies having to answer to their shareholders every quarter, kowtowing to the already rich for
fear that they'll sell their stocks
and tank their precious NASDAQ rating.
