Is Dollar-Cost Averaging Better Than Lump-Sum Investing?

Dollar-cost averaging is breaking up a sum of money into the same amounts and consistently investing them over time. Lump-sum investing is the immediate investment into a security using all available funds. So which approach may be best?

This only compares once per year investing to once per month investing. It does not compare an entire lump sum invested all at once and held for a 20-year period to a dollar cost averaging over a 20-year period.

But with the S&P 500 earning 10% per year over the last 50 years or so. You could still make out a head in the long run. It might not be effective for short-term investing.
