When will be the “right” price to enter?
How much lower is lower? 10%, 20%, 30%…?
How perfect is your timing?

Based on US market:

If your runway is long enough, start investing now.
If you are not invested, start investing now.
If you want to DCA, start investing now.
If you want to time the market, start investing now.
If you want to YOLO, start investing now.
If you want to have a chance for a better life, start investing now.

The opportunity cost of not starting to invest now is time wasted.

How much time do you have to waste?
