Why not start dropping a little back in here and there on the down days? Unlikely to pick the absolute bottom, so I always buy a little on the days with the largest drops.
Pick some targets for the S&P and then drop in a certain % each time it hits those targets....I.E 10% when it hits 3600, 10% when it hits 3550, 10% when it hits 3500, etc. It protects your downside while also giving you upside. We all know the markets in a few years will be higher than it is now, and if we get a new Congress in November (praying for this) I think everything will get better much quicker.
