decisions to make when you sell ... when to sell and when to buy back.'

I'm not saying selling was the wrong decision, I'm just wondering what determines when to buy back? Asking as someone who has sold their retirement account in March 2000, bought back in March 2003. Sold again in early 2008 and then went in to fixed asset investments. I've found technical analysis to be helpful over the years. Thanks in advance.
