You'll Never Buy at the Bottom. That's OK.
The premise is promising enough on paper: Buy stocks at the exact bottom of major sell-offs, and get rich by riding the rebounds.
That idea, however, glosses over a critical detail: You'll never know where (or when) the exact bottom is. If you exit your investments ahead of time, you probably won't even get meaningfully close to jumping back into stocks at the exact right time.
