Dollar cost averaging definition

Dollar cost averaging is investment strategy when you invest the same dollar amount in the same security on the regular intervals over a long period of time. The idea is that the same dollar amount will buy you more shares when the price is lower and less shares when the price is higher; thus your average price will be lower.
