Do you guys just put 500 a month in your IRA's each month or do you try to buy when the market is experiencing a dip?

It depends, you can just deposit it but not invest it also. If the market is on a major downturn I usually hold cash until it seems to level out. If it's on a major upturn I'll buy, if it's one of those months where it's up 3% then down 3% the next week continuously then I'll hold for a couple days and buy low.
Frankly it's better to just invest and not worry too much rather than stay out for long periods.

Same investment, same funds, every week, week after week.
Trying to time the market is folly.

Basically this, but if I happen to have some cash laying around I'll throw it in on a big downtown and then figure out how I'm going to get more cash later.

I'd like to start putting half in my target retirement fund and the other half in cash.
I will use the cash for a 10% drop in anything that I own...either VDE, MRO, BAC, VWO, or my target retirement fund.
If no 10% drop occurs anytime soon then I'll have a lot of cash saved up for when it happens, in which case I'd be able to spread it around.
