I bought on the 4th and 6th with my Roth contributions for 2016.
Got a bit of a discount compared to a few days ago, but not as cheap as today. No biggie, though, another 2% on $5500 isn't enough to fret over.
Bi-weekly 457 contributions smooth out and dollar cost average the rest of my investment funds over the year.
Its a long, long, game. Daily, weekly, monthly and even yearly fluctuations get much smaller over the long run.

Good strategy in a bull market but we've been in a bear market since august. There was no Santa Clause rally either. The market is clearly rolling over. The only thing I feel comfortable buying is a few oil stocks and reits.

I'm a long term bull but who says we're not going lower. There's not a lot of positive news and the good news usually has a bad news component to it. If you're a believer in technicals, I think the possibility is there to drop another 3-4% before the market gets its footing...and then sideways and more volatility. At this point, it's a lot more 2008 ( when I remember losing 56% in one fund ) than 2013.

Anyone put substantial money recently into the market after got beat up ?
Too early!

Market taking a dump is a good buying opportunity.
What did you buy ?
I bought some AT&T, I like the dividend.

Disclaimer: I have made no money and lost no money in this market. I am a third party observer.
I get a laugh at how when the market goes down it is a "correction" , as if something was out of hand .... and a drunken party was brought under control. If that is the case... shut the whole [censored] thing down and institute actual measured indicators that create a statistically responsible "market average" as a daily number. Give me a break. A so called "correction" is a LOSS.... As in numbers-went-down-people-lost-value. Just call it what it is. This repackaging of the numerical facts is insulting.
Now, beleive me, I know that this repackaging is not done just to be insulting to a person's intelligence, ther is no money to be made in simply that. It's marketing, salesmanship. And to that end, the "buy now when the market is low" phrase is adulterated. Would it be wise to buy low and to ENTER the market?? Sure!! Yes! I agree!
BUT being sold this message when you just put in money for months and it is gone...is selling snake oil.
The slickly worded message, when turned into plain English is actually...
Hi! This is Bob from XYZ Investments! You just lost alot of real money and now i need you to pump in more actually even beyond your normal amount so that your statement of account shows a summary number that makes it look like you didnt loose real actual money. So please send more so I can in effect cover up your loss by shifting numbers around.
In summary, unless the money you are putting into the market is really "throw away playable" dollars... keep it. And unless you can put in tens of thousands at a single time.... You are small fry. Dont kid yourself folks... Its a big dollar investors club. Your $20k riding allong like a sucker fish on a shark's back is the FIRST thing to be knocked off in a "correction". You simply dont have the numerical weight to make a quick enough rebound.

I don't really think AAPL will do well but my wife wants it.

Lol, your stock purchase with playable money would have paid off my entire mortgage! Ha!
Kudos to you in your prosperity and kudos to California and its unstopabble prosperity. And to think, some politicians think there is something wrong with CA. Heck, i think it is a huge percent of our national GDP.

SumpChump,
So putting money into the stock market is a bad idea because a 'correction' will cause the value of your account / IRA / 401K / mutual fund to go down ?
Maybe some folks should post their market 'gains' even with the correction... ?
No prosperity in the Upper Midwest ????

I have bought 2000 shares of BP plc on December 28th . Now i am sitting on fire, i think i 'll have a positive outcome around mid 2017 when oil reaches 40-45$ again.
I was aiming for a good dividend which was 2.40$ in 2015 but with such a bad opening in 2016 i don't think i'll get a dividend at all.

No, people who are prosperous enough to have play money should indeed feel free to 'invest' it so they can also enjoy the luxuries of corrections. Go righta head. Or just snort it away, just like the guys you are paying to play with it do all day long in urinals in New York.
The coolest thing is that when you take a loss... They still get paid. Great business situation hey? LOL
And about the upper midwest... Other than a few private moster corps who 'produce' nothing of actual physical structure , such as EPIC systems as healthcare software Co.... Ther isnt really much. Minnesota isnt too bad. People are nice up here but there isnt anything for real cash around. Heck, houses are around $160k and wages around $40k. And thats the middle class. Most folks save for retirement and die at 62-67 anyways from heart disease (this is not heresay, actual scientific health study data) from the winter inactivity and fatty meats and drinking levels. But are very kind and funloving folks. The natives make a great monthly dividend from the casinos but the youth end up broke because they outspend even their monthly income of thousands and thousands of dollars. Tribes are actually trying but failing to pass internal laws to slow the cash disbursementand flow of drugs.
