It NEVER works that way. The longer you wait - you just miss out. And when the market takes a dump -- then you wouldn't buy because you'd be afraid to pull the trigger.... then the market goes UP 500 points and then you jump in so you'd have missed the "sale". Trust me.... you're thinking way too short term. Buy - get the dividends - they keep coming regardless of the price you paid... and 3+ years from now - you'll look back and wish you'd have bought more when you did.
