It should work but large cajones required since isn't the goal to buy amazing companies and hold forever? That means stomaching huge drops like in 2000 or 2008 and waiting years--decades, to get back to even if at all.

What can I say, a lot of times stock prices go well below the margin of safety and BG's principles says dollar cost average on the way down.

Been there, done that--I prefer to get rich on a timely manner.
