I know it was a stupid thing to try to time the market (please no one else tell me lol) and I won't be doing it again, which is why I am looking to be more diverse and reducing my risk by adding more defensive funds.

Everyone makes mistakes.  Not everyone admits to them!

Now that would be an interesting and useful thread - 'My most valuable mistake/lesson'. I'm only a year in to my investing journey but will have a think about what mine would be.
