It happens. And maybe look at where you were in Jan. 2012 compared to today for a bit of perspective.

Yes, everyone has been effected.
It was bound to happen as the market has been in bull territory for a year. Frankly we needed this correction! Relax though. markets go and down, just stay the course. This wont be a banner year like 2013 but it will still be a healthy market. Most people have long-tern money in the market. If you have rainy day money there, you should think about diversifying. |

| If you are in for the long run the reinvestment of this quarter's dividends will be at a better price...true though that is, painful to see declines. |

| I'm not getting hammered because I did not sell. I invest for the long term. |

| Look at it this way: if you invest every pay period, your next 'purchase' will buy more stocks (due to their temporarily lower price). |

| I'm down 1.5 percent. And I only know that because this post prompted me to check. I don't stress about it. |
