That's a pretty good example of where dollar cost averaging can be a good thing, but a lot of the reason is because the market advanced tremendously during that time. You couldn't have picked a better time.

If you had picked other 10 year time periods, you would not have fared nearly as well. I don't know for sure, but I bet if you started dollar cost averaging in 2000 until now, you would probably be about even by now, at best. My guess actually is that you'd still be down, but I'd have to calculate it out.
