Right, but even for the NASDAQ which took a real bath yesterday, it only went back to where it was a month ago. So it's not really a historical entry point opportunity. Maybe it's the start of a bear market. But if it's not, this sort of market corrections is not something a buy and hold investor should wait in cash to try to time. You typically lose more in market opportunity by waiting for a big selloff than going in early, taking the hit and coming back.

Buffett wasn’t recommending market timing, he was just recommending feeling good about buying your stocks when they are lower in price.
