That sounds like a lot of work which is unlikely to realize any long term benefit. You are playing a long term retirement account like a short term investment.

I'm going to have to sort of disagree with you on that since prices in funds do not usually shift very quickly, it's an easier target unlike a fast moving stock. Dips can last days, weeks, months or even years. Nothing wrong with going in for the dip IMHO..it's like j-crossing a not very busy street.

So? You make more when you time it properly and lose more when you don't. In the end, it probably all averages out compared to investing x/12 every month. Your method just introduces more volatitily.

Well what do I know. I'll take your word for it with a grain of salt. Thanks.
