You cannot time the market. You can get lucky once and awhile but Nobody can do that consistant. Sorry.

Yup even over the last 12 years since the crash there have been a ton of ups and downs. Many points where you thought we are due for a major correction. Maybe some people could have timed those perfectly and sold at the top and reinvested after the pullback. But probably not. If you just stay invested and ride it out you will be fine.
