The people that bought right before the crash also made out like bandits. It’s impossible to time the market, just buy if you have money.

If you invested when the S&P peaked (June 2007) and held until now, you'd have an annualized return of 6.8% (dividends reinvested), according to this calculator.

If you look at June 2007 to Feb 2020 (missing the current dip), the return is 8.75%.

Agree 100%.
