That's not a bad question; statistics have shown timing to be a poor way to invest, I believe because you never know what's happening right now with a company.

Lagging PEs available from the newspapers and many sites are analogous to driving a car while looking into the rear view mirror; it's the future that's all important, as that's what the stock market is discounting, ergo: stick with those managers who've shown a propensity year after year for bringing good futures into being, like Henry Yuen and I.J., Straus & Kalkhoven, Chambers... just a very few among the few.
