If one started at peak and simply dollar cost average through the bottom ....for 30yrs will do just fine.

[sgbuffett]

The dollar cost average over 30years is around 15000.
It means investors double their $$ during the period.

The compound return us around 4.7%.

Doubling investments in 30 years should require only a compound rate of 2.34%.

4.7% compound rate will nearly quadruple the initial investment.

This figure is based on "dollar cost average"
The money is pored into market in instalments hence on average each dollar is inside the market for only 15yrs.
