That doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't buy stocks.

It is extremely unlikely that you will time the bottom of the market just right. So even if it will continue to get worse for a while, it might still be a good decision to continue buying into the market so that when the bottom does hit, you will have bought some stocks right around that time.

This all depends on your investment horizon, etc. etc.
