Mary Ann -

Dollar cost averaging has some great positive points. If you invest the same $ amount each time, you will buy more shares when they're cheaper and less when they're expensive - which is very sensible. This is a relatively risk averse entry strategy and for many people it is the right strategy.

If I had no view on Intel's stock price but wanted to participate in its performance long term then I might choose your investment strategy. In this case, however, I believe that even at 119 Intel has a large up side with very little downside. Given this risk/reward, I would feel comfortable puting on my full position here.

Each person has to choose his/her own comfort level for how much risk they are willing to take trading. If you don't feel comfortable taking views on short term stock price movements, then dollar cost averaging may be the right way to go. Most importantly - you should make a plan that works for you and then FOLLOW IT.

Don't kick yourself for missing out on Intel's recent rise. There are always tons of opportunities that each of us misses every day. You weren't ready to buy yet, and thats OK. You should buy when you're ready and when you have a plan that makes sense for your own appetite for risk.
