Just kidding. One minor quibble. Item 4 I think is called dollar-cost-averaging rather than averaging-down. If you're doing item 4 all of the time as you described then you'll invariably be buying as things are going up as well as down. Averaging-down, from what I've read, usually refers to someone who specifically buys shares that have dropped since a previous purchase. Otherwise a great post and a good perspective to keep in mind.
