i agree, dollar cost averaging down on a pos stock is a fools game...as i said, i can only do better on the next one at this point...

Weaknesses of Buying in Thirds

Studies done in and around dollar-cost averaging have typically documented that it's better to invest in lump sums than in increments. Why? These studies show that since the stock market tends to rise over time, the longer you wait to put in cash, the more opportunity cost you're paying.

Foolish investors can weigh that logic...


not great advice in imo generally speaking or just make your buy or buys small..
