dollar cost averaging
Definition
Investment strategy that seeks to minimize risk by reducing the average cost per share. Under this plan, an investor invests only a fixed amount in securities at regular intervals regardless of the market's up or down movements. He or she, therefore, buys more securities when the price is low, and less when it is high. This approach often yields greater returns over the long-term than the attempts to predict the stockmarket behavior.
