Sorry, and credit where credits due. There are several ways of applying the strategy, some better than others. However, what I said still goes, and I did say people/investors should read Benjamin Graham's excellent tome The Intelligent Investor, which Warren Buffett for instance followed on the way to becoming a multi-billionaire, and if you find just one useful ideal in the book, and execute it, it could make you substantial profits, but using extreme discipline and following what he states to the letter, and not getting carried away. The example I gave was if the share price goes up in a straight line, based on a minimal spend of £100 per month, and any sort of profit is profit at the end of the day. My friends who I advised to use it when starting off on the investment journey with out any experience, trusting my more than 10 years in the game are all doing really well, as I/they also invest in DOW 30, and NASDAQ stocks, where you can't go mad due to the price of the stocks, but can use the DCA method, which is even more successful than AIM for instance. You can also increase your monthly investment as and when you can afford to and when market conditions dictate that its the right thing to do. I always tell people/investors to do their own research, and not to invest more than they can afford to lose. Every strategy has risk attached to it, and some work better than others, but as a basic beginners tool its a good place to start. Enjoy the rest of the evening watching the Rugby World Cup or whatever else your watching/doing.
