Reasoning for the Lump Sum over DCA:

The market tends to go up (exponentially at that) over time. The best time to invest is at the bottom of the market. On average, the beginning of the year is the lowest point that will be seen that year, thus lump sum at the beginning is the simple method that wins out.
