Dear Internet Stranger (who is also an amazing investor): Have you considered starting you own hedge fund? If not, are you willing to share some of your best investments in the last few years?
You wouldn't be interested in an answer from an internet stranger. But please tell me how "dollar cost averaging" would help any investor in a real world scenario?
It actually grieves me that your average person is completely unwilling to just take a few days of their life to understand investing and what it is and how they can sensibly do it. Instead they decide to treat it like a casino and chase hocus-pocus like "dollar cost averaging" or "technical analysis" or "day trading".
Every person usually has some area of expertise or interest, or even a hunch. Take that and invest accordingly, long term. There are tools available to make any investment very conservative or very risky, according to taste.
