Gav raises an interesting idea for someone with little money.  But it is fraught with danger.  Why?  Because if you have few $ & choose the wrong company then you could lose it as it plumments away, if yr dollar avging down.


Maybe a limited approach in a bull market is "safer"?  So I'd say "in certain defined circumstances, it can work.  But not as a blanket rule".  Though most people's super works on this basis, does it not?


We did it once and that was with a fund where the currency went against us (we were in NZ at the time and the NZ $ strengthened).  Allowing for time we broke even.
