The true bottom is never "picked" by timing; it's "waited" for.

The truly robust approach is exactly yours:

- Don't go all-in; always keep cash on hand

- Buy in batches, don't go all at once

- Don't go against the trend; don't fight the market

- Follow the rules, not your emotions

- Hold for the long term, don't engage in short-term speculation

This is wellness-style investing:

No rush, no greed, no gambling, no exhaustion, leave room, go long-term.
