I think it’s too early to buy the dip

My financial advisor is saying to wait this out a couple months before putting more money in. These guys make money off my assets and telling me not to invest, it ain’t over.

Timing the market is a fool’s errand. All you need to know is that markets trend upwards.
If you are not retired or close to retired, you should be buying up a storm right now.
Discount sales like this don’t come around very often.

A couple of months?
I hope not.

If your financial advisor could accurately predict the highs and lows he would;
1) be managing A LOT more than your assets and
2) be doing it from his $20M yacht because he would be reaping the rewards for his abilities.
Timing the market is not feasible over the long haul, and that isn’t just opinion. It has been proven time and time again that the vast majority of “stock pickers” and “timing gurus” are wrong, especially when fees for their “services” are accounted for.

Did you buy the dip during the dot com bubble?

My argument is that if you are not retired or close to retired, the most important thing to remember is that markets trend upwards on a long enough timeline.
Obviously buying at the absolute bottom is going to result in a better capital gain than buying during a downturn but not at rock bottom, but it’s not worth investing time and money to determine where that bottom is.
If you day trade, that’s obviously another story as well. I’m talking mainly about long term investing.

This is the fourth “once in a lifetime opportunity” we have had in the last 25 years. They come around much more frequently than they did in the 20th century.

Why would they cave?
They can hold out longer than us, as 1) their people can't be as loud as people here in the US to put pressure on their government 2) don't have to worry about midterms /elections etc.
They'll just tell their folks it's the fight against the big bad US

Monday March 7th might be our third “once in a lifetime opportunity” we’ve had this month.

No one knows where the bottom is but this isn't going to last 2 months. I'll be surprised if we don't see the bottom in the next few days.

Buying a few extra shares of your favorite companies right now is what you should be doing with them dropping.

Not sure why you think this is only gonna last another week. If there's no intention to roll back tariffs (nobody knows other than Trump) this is just the start and there could easily be a lot more downside. Inflation and huge price increases will start to roll in almost guaranteeing more downside. Maybe he rolls the tariffs back this week. Who knows.
Anyway I personally will not be buying any dips until I see reversal signals on larger timeframes like the weekly or monthly.

3) They can just use Vietnam as their proxy to route goods through. LINK

Who says this?
Countries already came to the table.
Yeah you have China being stubborn, But we should rely less on them anyway.
I don’t know where you got the idea that there is no intention to roll back tariffs.

This was coming if we don’t do something about the debt.

People that stay in do better than the people trying to time it.

People say “don’t time the market” but it’s exactly what you should do in this scenario.
It will likely continue to go red. Hold your money. Once things start to flatten out, buy in.
It’s not some dangerous game when buying right now. You likely won’t time the complete bottom, but it’s obvious the market is going to continue to fall.
I get not timing the market for pulling out and getting back in, but if you have money sitting on the sidelines, absolutely time the market

Unless you're a close Trump confidant nobody knows what the plan is. Not me and not you. Hopefully he rolls back tariffs soon but again unless you're an insider in his ear you can't claim you know the plan either.
I don't time anything. I max my 401k and I've already lump summed my Roth this year. But I also trade stocks as a hobby so I do have cash and I also know how to read a stock chart for reversals and I'll be waiting until I see one before buying and dip trades.
