Just finished reading all 4 pages here. Definitely raised some points I hadnt thought of... but I still think dollar cost averaging would work over the very long term, especially if you started now. For a young person without a lot of capital, you could put say $4K into xyz every 2nd month (and try and pick the lows) and build yourself a good postion, then move onto another stock (or do multiple stocks concurrently). This way you would not miss out on any large jumps in share prices that may happen if instead you wait it out and save up $20K before buying in.
