Should You Dollar-Cost Average? (plus Soaring Shares)

At least among buy-and-holders, Dollar-Cost-Averaging, otherwise known as DCA, is one of the most common investment strategies which virtually guarantees the lowest possible cost-basis with the highest possible yield.  Yet I doubt there are many investors out there who understand how it really works.  So I found it quite convenient that an article on DCA was included today on Barry Ritholtz's Weekend Reading List on his Big Picture blog.  So I offer that below as my contribution to our weekend reading.  But the real bonus today is the graphic below which shows where all the best stock buys have been during this bull market.  No need for further research, this picture is self explanatory. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.
