What should I ask when shopping for a good financial advisor? Also, is this a good time to buy stocks?

I know it’s 2 questions- but I am looking for a good financial advisor and I’ve always chosen based on word of mouth- never asked to see any performance…Now I think I need to take more control because my current guy has been drastically trending down over the last 5 years I’ve worked with him….Also, is this a good time hearing that the markets are plunging, to buy the expensive stocks?
