As the saying goes - time in market beats timing the market.

I have a friend with a wealthy father who has never bought even a single bond share. He has stayed invested in equities his entire career and into retirement. He was already retired in 2008 - and the drop was a mere hiccup for him. He didn't panic-sell and just continued making his required minimum distributions like normal.
