If it gets that low the SP500 would be opportunistically priced.

In general, as Warren Buffet suggests, effectively dollar cost averaging the SP500 or other broad US index fund like a US Large Caps or Total Market, with reinvestment of dividends should work out well over time

I personally enjoy and have followed individual stocks and the markets over five decades, however I have in recent years been shifting from individual stock positions to funds with most of the funds positions in SP500, but more than half still in individual stocks. The company 401K plan core account only has fund options s except for company stock so that was a given.

Overall I haven’t tried to time the market but I have tried to time individual stock positions.

An interesting result for me is that I have a main brokerage account that I have done all my trading in, and another smaller account that I seeded with a handful of stocks about 25 years ago and left alone.

Both have done well. The ignored account becoming a 5-6 bagger, and the traded account did better but not so much because of the trading but because of sticking with a handful core set of good “Buffet” stocks and trading around the edges.

I have to give a lot of the credit to Buffet since I decided to join him 30+ years ago as opposed to try to beat him, following his major positions for the big gains on the winners and getting out with gains on positions such as Freddie Mac and Petrochina before they tanked.

But enough about my approach
