Nice graph. That is pretty much 100% spot on for those who like to "time" the market.

In reserve. I've been periodically buying the dips with extra cash when I can. It's not too far off from dollar cost averaging, but I try to time it with the dips.
The most important thing...

Best strategy is continually buying each week.. not to "time the market."
Overall you will do well. Forget timing.

yup. Buy the dips. Bought in June 2012, Fall/winter 2012 (fiscal cliff was awesome, especially for certain investments like MLPs), and most recently June 2013 dip.

Moral of the story...timing the market does not work. Keep investing.
I just moved $3k to an index fund last week and will continue to invest regardless of what the market does.
