Be careful. I timed the market a couple of weeks ago on a purchase and it didn't work.

I can’t help but think we are going down some more. It doesn’t feel like the bottom has come yet. Tech isn’t down quite as much as this point as some other struggling sectors like gas and oil.

It’s a good time to buy regardless, but I think we got a little ways left to go.

90% of my allocations are automatic monthly contributions and I haven't changed those at all, so I really don't time the market. But I do feel it has fallen enough now that it is worth putting this one pot of cash back in.

The whole concept of "timing the market" has become a meme.

You either believe that your X amount of investment in A, B, and or C will be worth $Y amount by day T in the future.

What difference does it make if X is worth $100, $55 or $555? today? If you don't believe that it will eventually be worth more than what you paid to acquire it then you shouldn't buy it..

Most of these stocks have moved even lower since February. Time to Bargain Shop??

Nobody is taking about it but the dollar is shitting the bed. Not sure the correlation between its drop and the market but that’s a fairly substantial move. Typically in crises there is flight to quality which is typically the US dollar but that’s not what’s happening now.
[Reply]

Also troublesome for my ass is typically cheap dollar means higher commodity prices (better export competitiveness). But that shit isn’t happening either. And you’d hope the lower dollar would boost oil prices which would spur ethanol demand. NOPE. Fuck you Buehler. That’s what you get.

Only if what you're in doesn't at least meet the rates of return you could get going long an S&P 500 index fund or ETF.
