<<why do you differentiate dollar cost averaging from buy and hold? >> Maybe I shouldn't, but it seems to me that buy and hold implies timing and cost averaging is the antithesis of the timing. Obviously, lots of folks view these as the same thing. Probably just semantics. Buy once sell once is what I view as buy and hold, whereas cost averaging is buy a hundred times and sell once or a few times. Less timing mistakes would happen with cost averaging. Mind you, I'm not claiming any expertise here, this is nothing more than my humble observation and opinion.
