Like you have said, it is early to start predicting the extent of growth in the future, but it is clear that no market as long as it is not dead, will stay down forever. There would be a recovery eventually, may not be immediately, may not be this year, but whenever it will be, we are all sure going to witness it.
What is important now is paying more attention to purchasing the dips for whoever wants to experience a good one when the market eventually recovers, which sound more like a good deal of smart investment to me.
