Tell me this. Are you dropping 10K today in this market? Are we at a bottom? I've heard 8500 before we hit bottom.

Um... you are just making my point for me. You say you would have lost a ton of money if you had invested at a certain time, but ignore the fact that the exact opposite would have happened had you selected a different time period 6 months later.
Most people should be dollar cost averaging, be it through their 401k or any other investment vehicle.
