Ramsey, Not wishing to nitpick but on running the figures: $10,000 invested at $100 and $110 and giving a future optimistic price of $400 per share at the end of 5 years @ $100 a share ... 100 shares purchased. @ $90 a share..... 110 shares purchased. 5 years on: 100 shares @ $400..........$40,000 = 31.95% pa 90 shares @ $400..........$36,000= 29.20% pa A difference of 2.75% pa or 14.53% over 5 years. Truly, if I could time my purchases better, it would make a difference of some magnitude over a long time frame, say 20 years, however I cannot time Mr. Market and am willing to pay up for good companies in very strong markets. Beat wishes, John
