Ian, re >The problem with buying when ORDERS hit a low, is you also have to guess when that might occur.<

So you miss some possible gains by buying after
orders turn up. You still get good gains.
I don't know of a better method, given past history.

One approach to when-to-buy might be to wait until a year after the last all-time high and then dollar-cost-average in over a couple of months.
