[quote=Anonymous]I was in my early 30s in 2008/9. I had just put $50k in a Vanguard account in different funds. I lost 50% over a few months. I was terrified. However I knew better than to pull all my money out at the bottom. I revised my approach - left much if it untouched and focused on buying low and diversification over the next 10 years. I just didn’t look at the total for years and kept my head down. I’m sitting on a pretty high balance now due to the incredible stock market performance over the last 10 years or so. Lesson - get a handle on what your current investments are, don’t freak out and pull out of the market, come up with your own philosophy and tell him to stay away from your 401k. [/quote]
