There are not many choices for 1.

There was an idea, which was incorrect, that dollar cost averaging a
lump sum is somehow better than investing all of it at once. It was
mistaken.

As for a person who is making monthly savings, what he is doing is
"investing money as soon as it is available". The return from that
would be the same as the return of the market, if properly
calculated. It is not any better, or worse.

Yep, that's what he is advocating.

By injecting this paper you seem to be conflating the answers to two
very different questions, namely:

1. How should one invest money received in small sums over a long time
(e.g. small sums from one's employment income)?

2. How should one invest money received as a lump sum (e.gl. an
inheritance)?

DCA is advisable for 1. but not necessarily for 2.

http://www.moneychimp.com/features/dollar_cost.htm may clarify.

Siegel's counsel in _Stocks for the Long Run_ concerns question 1. As
long as one has a long timeframe, he advocates buying index funds at
the prevailing market rate and reinvesting dividends.

Agreed, I should have said "overall benefit", rather than not of any
benefit.

For the most part, people don't have lump sums to invest anyway.

Not quite. It has actually been proven to be of at least some

The concept of dollar cost averaging is a result of a misunderstanding
of the exact meaning of return and capital.

doing
dollar-cost averaging. Is there any study you can point to?

You mean "dollar-cost averaging"? It sounds good at first, but it

They are all worth reading. The printed form was very nice, though.

This Siegel seems to be very interested in wringing every possible
dollar out of his fame. I personally would not trust him too much.
I will read his book, however.

The Berkshire Hathaway quarterly and annual reports going
back to 1995 are all online in either html or pdf format
at <http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/reports.html
Buffett's annual Letters to the Shareholders are also
all online, going back to 1977:
<http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/letters.html
Moreover, Buffett makes a point of releasing these documents
each year over a weekend, rather than during the trading
week.

Those letters are a goldmine.

I do not consider this the main theme of Siegel's books. Instead, his
focus is on buying index funds and holding for the long run. In
particular I like how he emphasizes the importance of reinvesting
dividends through thick and thin. We cannot time the market, and at
times like today by continuing to buy stocks we get the triple
compounding effect of dividends generally increasing over time; buying
more shares because they are at bargain prices; appreciating as stock
prices do over the long run.

Siegel has a more recent book out, as I recall, that updates or adds
to _Stocks for the Long Run_.

But a disclaimer is appropriate. Siegel is now an advisor of a major
index yada fund company, wisdomtree.com .

Berkshire used to sell a compendium of Buffett's letters to
shareholders, which was a great and very useful reading, as far as I
am concerned.

Hard to disagree.

If anyone believes the "buy stocks at any price" theory, it becomes
self defeating.

I had a second look at his book. I have not read it and bought it at
Amazon a few minutes ago. This guy's website is very insistent on
selling, signing up people and generally self promotion, which is a
turn off for me.

I will read his book and will try to see if I can make any comments.

Personally, I never trusted the "buy stocks at any price" theory,
especially when it is believed by too many people.

Thanks for the definition. Wanted to make sure I wasn't misinterpreted

as sarcastic (which I did not intend). Many of the great American
corporate names have half of their business overseas, the bulk of that
half in Europe, but with increasing expansion plans for the Far East.
(I did try B's link again, and got the log-in page.)

Isn't it nice to have a garage sale of stocks? :-) PG, UTX, FAST, DD,
IR, EMR, even D ... I've been rummaging around looking for the ones
that aren't too used or broken. Just wish the seller would get those
hand-scrawled pricing stickers sorted out ... XOM jumps around almost
10% a day.

I would love to know more about what their recommendations are.

To me, betting on anything is a lot safer when the price is cheap,
than when it is expensive.

Personally, I hate losing money even more than I like making money, so
I am glad that I did not lose anything in 2001 and 2008, yet.
