You are not incapable of buying the dip; rather, you always lose to "just wait a bit longer." You think it will drop a little more, you fear that as soon as you buy, you will get stuck, but you forget: the market will never wait for you to be ready before it starts to rebound. Those who benefit from the rise are often not the smartest, but the most decisive. They take action at the most uncertain moments, then endure the fluctuations and wait for returns. The more you try to time it perfectly, the more likely you are to end up with nothing. True bottom-fishing is gained through planning and execution, providing a time advantage. Don't wait for the market to give you confidence; you are your best signal.
