When hiccups happen from time to time and the market pulls back because it doesnt like uncertainty and bad news - then that can be a good time to top up or buy, in anticipation that the progress of time and experience will fix things up. That way you stand to make the most money in my opinion. Those investors who only buy once good news has happened and prices have already risen, then sell when bad news happens, stand to lose IMO. After a decade of investing, its only once I realised this I started making money (and never put all your eggs in one basket )
