Two Yale professors say they have a better strategy for your personal investments over a lifetime

Sorry. This is the best I can do right now. I'll have to go to the library (or access the library's online account) to read the story myself.

It's very long.

You may consider: (I AM NOT AN INVESTMENT ADVISOR)
Dollar-cost averaging. (which may be the same general idea)

Invest regularly. When stock prices go down, you buy more shares for the same amount of money.
When stock prices go up, you buy fewer shares for the same amount of money.

I could afford to put any small raise I got into the ira using this dollar cost averaging technique. It worked out VERY well for me...
