Buy on the way down. Not that hard of a concept. Keep buying and buying and buying. When it starts appreciating keep buying and buying and buying. Only sell when you need or want the money.

Average down, man. Stock are only dropping because people are fearing a rate hike, which no matter what the fed says there is no way we are having a rate hike before the election. Maybe in December, or 2017, but that is plenty of time for a market to bounce back, maybe even hit a new high. S&P will go up as soon as people realize raising rates is off the table.
