Hence the saying "markets can be irrational"...

If you're going to roll the dice (which is really what it is at this point). Can I recommend you break your 5,000 up into chunks to help soften if you get your timing wrong (which is likely given your inexperience - I'm not being mean, just honest).
Why not buy $3,330 worth when it looks like it hits the bottom here. That way you've got more 'if' it breaks $2.02 and goes down to ~$1.80, otherwise you'll put all your money in, and if it goes lower, you'll feel like you did bad and likely pull it all out anyways, or, do what most of these guys have done and throw good money after bad.
If you're going to dice roll, maybe do it in three phases. e.g. ~$3,330 parcels each time, you're only paying 1% fee, and if what you think will happen is correct, then you will make that part back in divs. It'll help soften the possibility of bad timing...
...I'm not advising you do or don't invest, just have a planned approach to doing so.
