I mean, if you look out the window and the market hasn't falling 8 percent in a day in over a week, it might be an alright time to buy.

No that's too late. You want to buy low and sell high, not the other way around!

Depends on how much of a discount you want and how fast the rebound will be. The S&P 500 has now given up 2.5 years of growth. I don't think it will spring within a week of bottoming out
