Sure, a very diverse portfolio is a good idea too if you are green or
don't have time to play with stocks.
I failed to mention that even when a stock goes to zero, DCA is the
safest method of investing in that stock because you'd be buying
smaller lots at higher prices and you'd lose a fraction than if you
slammed a big chunk of seed capitol on the rotten stock.
