Buy low, sell high. It's easy to say, harder to do.
The reason you did well with your 401k is you were cost-averaging. If you put in a fixed amount each payday, your cost is cheaper than if you bought all your shares at the average price per share. That's because you bought fewer shares when prices were up and more shares when prices were down.
The other way to beat price swings is balancing: Decide how much risk you can accept and maintain a ratio of stocks to bonds based on that risk. If you're young and can take a lot of risk, the ratio should be around 75/25 stocks to bonds. For older investors, it should be closer to 50/50. As stocks go up and down, move money between stocks and bonds to maintain the balance at the ratio you picked. This will force you to sell stocks when prices go up, and buy them when prices go down.
