The Dip Kept Dipping - Arrgh!

I decided to buy today's stock market dip by purchasing several individual stocks, which what I did when I was younger.  Buying individual stocks on a dip is a hard habit to break.   I picked up some good buys, but the dip kept dipping to the close and my purchases ended the day down.  Fortunately, I don't have much invested in the buys today since I plan to put most funds in a S&P Index fund as the dip continues, which I expect it will.   

Looking back, a good time to buy is when the market dips. I'm going to take this opportunity to invest my kids' college accounts in the S&P Index fund tomorrow.  These are long term accounts and won't matter much if the dip keeps dipping.
