DCA is the general strategy, but there are just some times when DCAing alittle more (when you can DCA down) is a good idea. When these opportunities come knowing the intrinsic value, margin of safety and entry price increases conviction and boost confidence to pull the trigger.

ETF contains a basket of stocks, therefore it is hard to calculate instrinsic value. Might as well just do the Dollar-Cost-Averaging method to accumulate small amount each month.
