true, you will own more shares, but if you bought, for example, between 28 and 60 from 1995 through 1998, there is really not that much difference in your cost basis today. most increases in stock prices take place on only a few trading days of the year. the problem with trying to time the market so perfectly is that historically you do better being in the market than being out of the market. if you are nimble you can lower your basis, but most of us are not that nimble at it.
