I still maintain that buying a slice at an arbitrary price is a fools game.

Employee savings plans, often juiced by the injection of matching contributions in some degree are nice squirreling techniques... I have also played the fool this way.

Nevertheless, this does not make you a fool nor me a fool. Just that we indulge in a host of activities, some more or less foolish. One might also say that constantly having cash on the sidelines is a fools game during a bull market. But putting $100 in your wallet doesn't make you a fool either.

If you want to extrapolate linearly that only a fool will play fools games well then be my guest. Even smart people will do foolish things, just as fools will occasionally do smart things.
