Buying a dip is still trying to time the market. If you have a view then you implement it, if you have no view then you'd probably dollar cost average into broad indices. I think you can look at your personal stake, what you can afford to lose with your horizon, and then make any necessary changes to limit the downside. Like you say, you might need to give up some possible gains.

    I what I mean by timing the market is reallocating based on what I think may happen. Simply increasing contributions (if I can) when the market craters might technically be timing it, but differently than what I mean.
