I am patient in buying. I don't want to catch the falling knife.

It’s going to take quite a while for me to need to rebalance.

I have some cash to reinvest but I'm sitting on the sidelines until March or so when the FED starts making its moves. We may see some opportunity to put more into equities at reduced prices. I have a few stocks (mostly energy) and two ETFs. Yeah, it's a bit like market timing.

Well, I keep THINKING I'm buying into a dip and then it dips again! 
I've been adding to my ONEQ (NASDAQ) ETF and today I bought another 10 shares of ULTA. I bought 10 shares less than a year ago and they're up 20% and the analysts still love it. I don't wear makeup but am happy to make $$ off those who do.

I bought too soon, proving ONCE AGAIN, I nor anyone can time the market. I suppose we all knew the easy money couldn't last.

Oohh... If it keeps dipping, then perhaps it's not too late to sell?
SELL! Sell everything!

Just kidding about selling.
Well, I was forced to sell 2 round lots of Caterpillar last Friday when the 222.5 calls got assigned.
I bought some semiconductor stocks today with the money. I hope it's a good trade, because semi stocks have been beaten down badly.
PS. Meanwhile, I sold puts to buy back CAT at 222.5 and 215.

In addition to having a large component of VTI and other low fee indexes for the long haul, I would use a small portion of growth funds to buy these 5 companies as they are likely the new Fang-type growth and disruption stocks for next decade or two. They have wide moats and do something that almost no one else has made inroads into and have great management:
Unity software (U)
Roblox (RBLX)
Palantir (PLTR)
ABNB
Spotify (SPOT)

Ytd 1/18/22
WELL.
YTD I am down 4.9% vis a vis stocks.
And I'm less than pleased with that and I'm hoping that staying in and not panic selling is the way to go. The sole "trading" stock I have - meaning I was getting in and out - but didn't mind having to hold is Matterport MTTR....that's a decent sized hit right now. Otherwise I"m mostly big cap tech, stuff like KO PEP CAT MCD. Largest loan holdings are F and GM - the latter I had written on this forum about 15-18 months ago that I ws buying in the 30s. They are both still up handsomely but nevertheless on weeks like this - I feel it more due to being overweight there.
If someone wants to tell me it'll be fine and things will roar back soon I'm here with willing ears.
In the meantime ....RussiaUkraine - Im wondering how far it does and effect on investments.

He has 140+ Billion in cash to deploy.....if I were him I'd sell some Apple, talk about a concentrated position....44% of his stock holdings in BRK.B is AAPL
They say Buffet is a value investor but in fact he's more of a "vulture investor" (eg, PG and KO day after 1987 crash, Goldman Sachs in 2009 crisis w a 10% divy back to him, etc)

I'm not a fan of timing the market, but I'm not upset that a chunk of inheritance came to us when the market is down. Bet it all on VTSAX!

I have been buying VTI and SCHD in chunks on down days. I don't think that we are near the bottom yet, however.

Sorry MichaelKnight, the world is coming apart at the seems. And then we stitch it back up and go on.
We're may be in the late economic cycle in the 1st quarter of 2022. This link is from January, I think. And this is world economies, not necessarily lining up with the stock market.

Trying to be positive! This used to work well, but time was my friend, then :-)
Today I couldn't stand it any longer so bought a couple hundred shares of PLTR.
Yesterday it was JOBY.
Not advertising stocks, just showing how I'm playing into innovation vs broader market. Play money!

I've been buying a few shares of TSLA, AMZN and GOOG.
Given my proven track record of only buying at tops, I guess this is bad news.
