• FORMULA INVESTING
  
  When you invest on a schedule-as you might with dollar cost averaging-or make investments to maintain a pre-determined asset allocation, you're using a technique known as formula investing. The appeal of this approach, for investors who follow it, is that it eliminates having to agonize over when to buy or sell. But it does not guarantee your portfolio will grow in value.
