I think they call that “Dollar Cost Averaging”?

Well, even better is that you’ll be BUYING THEM CHEAPER when the market crashes too – so it’s not all bad during those times! Very very smart to do.

Same here with “head down, keep pouring it in”. We max out our Vanguard Roth IRA’s via automatic monthly withdrawal from our checking account. We don’t even think about it. Just that we know the $$ will eventually accumulate positively for retirement down the road. And you’re right–no one can time the market so we don’t even consider it but it is fun to fantasize about it!!

Good idea :) I only check my stuff once a month to do our net worth reports, but I accidentally catch the updates on NPR too all the time, haha… I do often fantasize about cashing out and then getting right back in before it all goes up again, but then I remember that’s all it would be – a fantasy! – as ain’t nobody can time the markets! And I’m personally the worst at it, haha… So I’m in the “head down, keep pouring it in” camp for sure.

In reply to Bryan. I keep telling myself not to check it too but still turn on NBR every week night which announces the DOW results, LOL The only time I didn't do this was during the depths of the recession when I literally did NOT open our statements. I had piles of unopened statements for a few years back then. Eventually they ended up in the shredder, having never been opened! All we can do is ride it out & let it accumulate thru the years.
