Pounce at the Stock Market Downturn

I was ready to pounce at the stock market downturn a couple of weeks ago in my investment plan.Maybe yesterday was not the best time, but I was not too scared to pounce like somebody else. Since it is the fact that the downturn does come, I work up the nerve to put in a standing order to buy the stocks. it is not rational to look at the market all the time day on and day out, because if so the daily ups and downs will make you in and out of stocks, running up your transaction costs. I plan to pick my investment with solid long-term prospects while forget about them for a while.I think I will be more rational about risks and rewards.
Wish me successful!
