This data analysis is blowing minds in the finance world — and could change how you invest
Dollar-cost averaging has long been espoused by the likes of Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham as a savvy way to mitigate risk and build a portfolio by investing a fixed amount of cash regularly over a period of time. But is that tried-and-true approach better than putting a lump sum to work all in one leap into equities? Or even fixed income?

GLOBAL MARKETS-Stocks fall as China cancels U.S. farm visits, yields dip
An index of global stock markets surrendered early gains on Friday after Chinese agriculture officials who were to visit U.S. farm states next week canceled their trip, dampening optimism on U.S.-China trade talks. Renewed worries about the state of the ongoing trade tensions between Washington and Beijing drove Treasury yields lower and pushed the U.S. dollar down against the safe-haven Japanese yen.

Stocks close lower after China cuts short trade visit
U.S. stocks erased early morning gains to close lower Friday, after pessimism over U.S.-China trade relations rose following a decision by the Chinese trade delegation to cancel visits to farms in Montana and Nebraska, potentially signalling a lack of progress on trade negotiations. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell about 161 points, or 0.6%, to close at 26,934, the S&P 500 index lost 15 points, or 0.5% to end around 2,992 and the Nasdaq Composite retreated roughly 65 points, or 0.8% to end the day at 8,118. The low-level negotiations this week were meant to set the stage for senior officials to hash out a broader deal sometime next month. Also weighing on sentiment were comments by President Donald Trump that he was not interested in a limited trade deal that would ratchet back some barriers in exchange for greater purchases of U.S. agricultural goods. Stock volumes for the S&P 500 were elevated as a result of a "quadruple witching day," as Friday marked the simultaneous quarterly expiration of stock-index futures contracts, single-stock futures, and options on stock-index futures and individual stocks.

US STOCKS-Wall Street drops after China cancels trip to Montana farmland
Wall Street dropped on Friday, and also finished the week lower, after a Chinese agriculture delegation canceled a planned visit to Montana, dampening optimism about U.S.-China trade talks. The delegates, who had been set to visit U.S. farm states next week, will return to China sooner than originally scheduled, the Montana Farm Bureau said. Major stock indexes fell into negative territory after the cancellation, which came as trade talks were held in Washington and U.S. President Donald Trump said he wanted a complete trade deal, not just an agreement for China to buy more U.S. agricultural goods.

Is a Price Revaluation Event About To Happen?
Skilled technical traders must be aware that price is setting up for a breakout or breakdown event with recent Doji, Hammer and other narrow range price bars. These types of Japanese Candlestick patterns are warnings that price is coiling into a tight range and the more we see them in a series, the more likely price is building up some type of explosive price breakout/breakdown move in the near future.

Dow skids to Friday low after China's delegation cancels tariff-related visit to Montana
U.S. stocks on Friday turned firmly lower in afternoon trade, knocked down after reports that a China trade delegate was cancelling a planned trip to Montana farms. A representative for the Montana Farm Bureau Federation confirmed that the Chinese delegation intended to visit Montana farmland as a part of continuing discussions with the U.S. on trade, but China changed travel plans and would be leaving without a stop in Montana. "This morning, we received word that they would no longer be visiting Montana but would instead, be returning to China sooner than originally planned," said Nicole Griffin Rolf, director of national affairs at the MFBF. The visit by the Chinese delegation had been viewed as reflecting a thaw in a yearlong Sino-American tariff dispute. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.4% at 26,991, the S&P 500 index declined 0.4% to 2,994, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was 0.9% lower at 8,112. The technology sector and consumer-discretionary shares were hit hardest in the fall. All three main stock indexes were trading near Friday lows on the reports. The visits and talks between lower-level delegates from Beijing and Washington were expected to be a prelude to higher-level negotiations in early October. --Robert Schroeder contributed to this article
