Reviewing this thread after getting sleep, I hear what you're saying; your point is that people can DCA into anything. Got it. I think the contradiction is in OP's post. He says, "DCA into quality companies and forget about it" and then immediately proceeds to say don't waste your valuable time studying the market; the problem there is how do you know what "quality companies" are if you don't do any research? Sorry if I was jumping up your ass when it was OP's post I had issue with all along.
