Imagine a scenario where you have a few thousand dollars that you're ready to invest. But you look at the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) sitting near an all-time high and decide the stock market is too expensive. Prices are too high, and they're bound to head lower soon. So you decide to wait until there's a modest 5% pullback before investing. If you had followed that logic on April 15 of this year -- the day when the S&P 500 hit its first new high in the wake of the downturn that was triggered by the start of the Iran war -- you'd still be waiting on the sidelines. The index hasn't pulled back by that much in six months. But it has gained more than 10% since then, a gain you would've missed. That scenario illustrates a mistake too many investors make: waiting for a perfect buying opportunity that may or may not ever come. History suggests it can be a costly error, too.
