Jeremy Siegel: Stocks Are the Most Stable Asset Class in the Long Run

[Big Toe]

It's about getting more value when prices are depressed.
At a level of uncertainty that one is comfortable with.
In any case, no one strategy works for everyone an investor needs to understand him/herself.
There is more than one path that leads to Rome.

The market is fluid in nature, circumstances change, moats do widen and narrow over time.
Best to stay nimble. And since it is Hunger Games season...."May the odds be in your favour"

[ForeverAlone]

its hard to time the market
you never know when the correction will come
if you believe in peter lynch's teaching
then stay vested all the time

[Temperament]

It's very, very difficult to time the market. You can never tell when it will collapse. And after the cave in, you can never tell when it will be a volcano again. But if you can be patient, you will witness the cave in and the volcano. The problem is how many cave in - volcano cycles you have for your lifetime?
Also after each cave in what you do most probably will determine your investment outcome.

So do you have the Patience, Money, Wrenching Guts and Longevity?
Last and definitely not least, do you have Lady Luck or God's Blessings?
Of course do you have diligence?
