8. You might not have been better off dumping it all at the beginning.

There are always ups and downs in the market. Trying to time it is foolish. Your dollar cost averaging is a strategy that's going to pay off well in the long run.

Keep in mind, and everyone here should repeat this occasionally, the markets set new highs from time to time, but they never set new lows.
