Thank-you. But kirk might be technically right. Obviously, if brinker said go "all in," people with 401k's would keep doing the same thing they had been doing under the DCA advice. but still Not true. If they had a big sum of cash, then they would not do the same thing they were doing under the DCA advice... They would put it all in. They would ONLY do the same thing if they did not get any "new money" that significantly changes their asset allocation. One would assume they would invest their regular 401K contributions along the asset allocation lines Brinker recommends in the newsletter so there is no change in their overall asset allocation. They should be fully invested before and after each 401K contribution unless they had some new money from an inheritance or selling a business, for example.
