• DOLLAR-COST AVERAGING
  
  An investment method in which you put the same amount of money into an investment at regular intervals, such as every month. As the market price of the investment rises and falls, you end up buying more shares when prices are low and fewer shares when prices are high. This way, you don't have to track the market and time your purchases (that is, buy low, sell high).
