To mitigate the risk of executing sharemarket activity at the wrong time, many investors schedule their activity in the market with a process called dollar cost averaging - buying smaller amounts of a company’s shares incrementally over a period of time. The average price you pay is more likely to represent its average or fundamental worth than if you bought them in one purchase - which lowers the overall risk.
