What I am looking for is models that reduce risk. This may be a different objective than others on the thread who may be looking for the next 10,000% return in ten years. Applying some sort of valuation methodology reduces risk---although it could also cause you to sit on the sideline and miss tremendous market returns. Applying dollar cost averaging also reduces risk---that is reduces the risk of buying all your shares at a temporary out of balance high, but it also could preclude you from having spectacular market returns by buying most of your shares at low prices. I agree that it is difficult to pick a strategy and stick to it, and for some reason, whenever I (and many other investors) change investing strategy, the change of strategy invariably comes precisely at the wrong moment in time. One of the many reasons Warren Buffet is such a successful investor is that he has the self discipline to stick to his investment strategy. Best, Huey
