I sure can't .


From where I see it , Dollar-cost averaging fails to overcome major declines .


It's difficult to make profits when you buy on the downside using any plan , and any systematic long-term dollar-cost averaging has wallys buying on the downside of a plummeting share price ......... and if they stick to the theory half of them wouldn't even know because you don't need a chart for the method , it's a periodical investment option . One that might periodically work in say a mega bull market like we had in the 80's , even then it's a flawed project . If a shares headed south there has to be a valid reason why and they obviously don't know what it is if they're buying into a falling share price . It's always a long climb up the ladder , going down is usually three times as fast , one you beaut way to lose money IMHO .
