I like this point, which I heard somewhere long ago. Suppose
you always buy at the market. Compare the performance with
always placing an order slightly below the market, to get it
cheaper. In the first case you will be buying every long term gorilla that you spotted. In the second case you will miss some of them. In both cases you will buy all the duds. Will the fact that your average purchase price is a little lower make up for forever missing some of the gorillas? I don't have numbers but one can doubt it,eh? So I always either buy at the market or keep the cash for something more compelling. JMHO
