So over a very long period of time, I've found DCA to be an excellent way to ride out storms like these. Each to his/her own. MM A variation of investing a fixed amount each period is as follows. What ever percentage your investment changed since your last contribution use that to determine your next contributing amount. IE: Your investment gained 5% since your last contribution then only invest 95% of your normal amount. The opposite applies to a loss.That would call for an increased contribution by the percentage of your loss. It's a form of value dollar cost averaging. Of course if you are using auto debit then one would have to change to manual for implementation.. Cheers
