The question you might ask yourself is, if you miss the dip, will it be trading above where it was before, and will the next dip come down to where it's trading now. I almost never buy on a market order, but I'll often put in a limit that's at or near the ask if I really want the stock. If I'm right about the stock, how much more do I lose if I could have bought it for a tiny fraction of 1% less. If I'm wrong, how much more do I lose. Either way it's normally a couple dollars at most, often pennies.
