There is no specific time to invest and stay invested for a long term in equities. However, during a slow down period investors tend to lose their speculative powers.Hence it is always safe and wise to invest in long term diversified equity funds and ULIPs.

Why not directly into sensex shares? Why not buy the shares that compose the index? ITs always a good time to invest when the market is down....

If I were u I will not put money in ULIP as most of the money will go as a fee to the company. The current slowdown affects all the companies, so I suggest each an every Indian to take a SIP of atleast Rs. 1000/-. This will help our economy and we can come out of Slowdown surely.
