Neither. Let's say your $4,000 declines to $3,500 the first month... then you invest $4,500 (to raise your $3,500 to $8,000). OTOH, if your $4,000 increases to $4,500 then you would only invest $3,500 (which would increase your $4,500 balance to $8,000).

So you invest more with the market is relatively low and less when the market is relatively high.

Got it, and think it's a great idea. Thanks

I forgot to include that I started buying smaller amounts today and will follow the advice given on this thread to maintain that until I reach my desired AA.

Then my goal is to be like eta2020 and sunset to stick it out through thick & thin. As I stated before, I don't need the $ for expenses (still working and then pension), so I'll just let it ride...

I'm staying positive.
