Yes, I agree with everything you've said. But precisely because we cannot predict the timing of the bottom, we have disciplines like dollar cost averaging. In addition, you have to ask yourself what your horizon is. If you are retiring today, you shouldn't have a 100% stock portfolio. If you have a 10 year horizon, it should be weighted in favor of stocks. I have asked myself that question. Do I believe stocks will still be in a funk 10 years from now? No, I don't think so. Therefore, I will stick to my disciplined savings and investment approach.
