Or even 2008. Now it's merely a weak day within normal range.

I don't mind because I've been dollar cost averaging one mutual find every 2 weeks. This Friday is a buy day so I root for a dip.

Overall I would have been better off just dumping it all in at the beginning. That's typically how this works. But the every 2 weeks focus has kept me paying attention and I made a few moves that worked out but I otherwise might have missed.
