While I possess advanced degrees, and I am a longtime member of Mensa, I do not have the hubris that many others might. I do not think I cannot outsmart or out-time the markets. The only one that can do that probably got a fiddle of gold to be able to do it. The Oracle.

So, like you, I stick to two strategies: Buy and Hold, and Dollar Cost Averaging. I concur with your perspective, Rich42.
