Anything but that, I would not try to time the market. pharmboy, I don’t think that’s a bad idea SO LONG AS it’s to buy-and-hold and it’s for the long term (to give it enough time to rebound and correct).

I want to dump it all in the first quarter to hopefully capitalize on the upswing. Am I crazy to try buy load up while prices are low?
