Obviously we are going through turbulent times in the market.  It is also common practice not to try to time the market.  However, I do want to passively invest and try to enter the market at its relatively lowest.  Thoughts?

There isn't one. Just DCA and don't try to catch a falling knife.

Sometimes situations are staring your straight in the face and you know it is time to take a risk - I made more on shorting GBP before the UK leaving the ERM (mainstream media advised GBP likely to crash out, it was a no-brainer) and  shorting banks/going long on gilts before the 2008 crash (lots of worldwide talk about credit bubble, US mortgages etc and then I read a small news article about Barclays blaming failure to pay overnight borrowing on an admin issue (bullshit))  than I have made working.   Calling the top/bottom of a market is pure luck, the price depends on many unpredictable things.

you cant. time *in* the market always beats trying to time it. investing at all is a good idea right now. just let it sit there for decades.
