In my experience,buying into fear - when no one knows when the sales will trough is a safer buy (lowest possible draw down of the account).

Sometimes the fear is justifited:

epets
etoys

Enron
Lucent?
WCOM?
JDSU?
IBM?
GE?
AMAT?

Some have good histories over many cycles and others don't.

I think buying early can set you up for a grand slam if you are lucky and you buy when it stops falling, but you risk losing all your capital. Cary's approach is safer at a cost of lower potential future returns... Safe is usually better but some of us like to gamble...
