Thanks for the clarification Pete, but it is not what you said here Message 23126875 in reply to my very specific case of having "new money" a few months ago when the market was at 1267.

"Good advice" then was to lump sum into the market.

Someone on the 12 month DCA plan would still have 70% of that "new money" in cash (starting ~3 months ago under 1300) which would be closer to what a bear would advise. How do you think a new subscriber who started with cash felt about missing that 11% gain?

Also, 75% now in cash is even more bearish than Brinker was in 2000 with only 60% in cash. Think about it.... this is why I say he "has it both ways."

When you become age 65+, your views on investing and asset allocation will likely become more conservative

I doubt it. I think they will remain the same but my asset allocation will become more conservative as it does every year I age.

Merry Christmas.
