Each dollar may be buying more shares, but as the market falls, so does the value of those shares. One's much better off by investing in bond or even money-market funds and weathering out a downfall. Even if one misses the uptick by a couple of months, he'd be better off getting into equities only then, most likely buying many more shares than by doing what Jeff Rose advised. Besides, it's far better to miss out on potential gains than to realize losses. Cheers.
