Why FB Apple and Microsoft? Are you buying based on price? If you are, you don't understand fundamental analysis or intrinsic value so you are better off investing in index ETFs or Robo advisor. Buying by looking at price means you won't be able to know when to sell. What if you buy at $250 for Apple, and then in the next 5 months, it drops to $100. Do you sell Apple? Or do you buy more? Without knowing the fundamentals you will never understand what to do next.

Buying is just one part, selling is the most difficult part most people don't understand.

If you intend to invest in the long term, it will not make too much of a difference as to when you enter the market.
