Optimal strategy for reinvesting in the stock market during a downturn?

In a previous post I mentioned that I took all my money out of the stock market about 2 weeks ago. So far, that has turned out to be a pretty good decision.

However, I am now grappling with trying to figure out what the ultimate strategy for buying back into the market is.

I’d have to think someone has written a book about this but I’m not sure who I should be reading.

Anyway, here’s a simple sample strategy I came up with which I wanted to share and also get other investor’s opinions on.

-5%… reinvest 10%

-10%… reinvest 10%

-15%… reinvest 10%

-20%… reinvest 10%

-25%… reinvest 10%

-30%… reinvest 10%

-35%… reinvest 10%

-40%… reinvest 10%

-45%… reinvest 10%

-50%… reinvest 10%

The caveat to the above strategy obviously is if the economic condition changes significantly in a positive way, I might make the decision to throw all of the remainder back in immediately.

What do you think?
