Yes, that's been my strategy for over 30 years. Invest it and forget it. Don't panic during the downturns. Leave it all in and let it ride. Remember that during the down times, you are purchasing shares at a lower price. That's GOOD for a long term investor.
Throwing in a chunk every now and then after a panic sell never hurts either.!
Aristocratic blue chip dividends in JNJ, Chevron, QCOM, IBM etc. They ain’t goin out of business.
Oh stop, that boring advice about buy and hold, weather the storm!
That has always worked and this time is different!
We need something that has NEVER worked, so we can make it tomorrow.
Yep, I figure if I retire in ten-years, I’ve got one good bull market left before I move most of it out.
That's the basic strategy for 401ks too.

like right now ... i jumped back in last thursday with big purchases of Royal Dutch Shell, and boy am i a happy camper right now! 30% portfolio gain since then with a ton of remaining upside, plus locking in 17% trailing dividend yield ...
