There is a bubble every decade. When you are saving over 40 years or more a single year dip every 10 years is fine.
Don't sell in the dip, buy in the dip.
What would happen if everyone did this? Can everyone do this, even theoretically?
If you buy in the dip, that means you have extra money that's not invested.
If you have extra money not invested cause you're waiting for a dip, then you're not getting investment returns from the very long period of time we're not in a dip.
Even if you could predict the future, and determine when the bottom of a dip is so you could put all your money in, you're still going to come out worse than if you just invested in the first place.
