I tried to time the market back when it dipped a year or two ago one December, thinking that was the top and we were headed into the next bear market. Glad I didn't stay on the sidelines for long as I would have missed out on some huge gains.

I learned that I'm terrible at trying to time the market and the only thing I'll try to do differently is set a little capital away for the next bear market to invest more heavily when the market is down.
