It’s a strategy for buying stocks where you buy a certain dollar value on a regular schedule. (Say $10/week.) That way when the price goes up you buy less stock, and when the price goes down you buy more. It’s a pretty good strategy, especially if you don’t have a ton of information to help you ‘time the market’. Great for casual investors.
