If you have a long term view, you should be in the market now instead

of trying to time when to get in. Logically, the odds are you should go ahead and put your money in the market, and you'll be up in 5-10 years. Realistically that can be hard to stomach, so beginning to dollar cost average in would be a reasonable plan. Yeah, it might be a couple quarters before revenues pick up, but the stock market prices will lead actual results.

A lot of the first earnings reports with real results from Q1 are starting to roll in, so we'll hear some real news from companies.
