Timing the market is nearly impossible. It would be a bad idea to guess and jump in big. Fortunately many brokerages now have commission free trades so you don’t have to do that. You can make lots of small buys to average in. That’s what I’ve been doing for 2 weeks. Look for good deals or stick with an index fund like DIA or SPY to track the market.

“Timing the market is nearly impossible. “

If nothing else you are dollar cost averaging when the market is in a trough. Buy low sell high.
