It's been tough watching my balances continue to go down, but I'm trying to be rational about things, and continue to invest. Lily: I agree, you’ve got to know your risk tolerance.

People panic about the stock market for reasons that should inspire nervousness but not fear. Unfortunately, the masses (which are mostly financial institutions, not Mom & Pop investors) drive stock prices, so as long as fear prevails, the market will continue to fluctuate wildly and trend downward. I think it's right to see this as a buying opportunity; but I think it's also right to be very aware of your own risk tolerance, and adjust your investment strategy accordingly. I'm still investing regularly into the stock market in my 401(k), but I've held off on adding to my brokerage account because I'm not sure I want to deal with the roller coaster ride.

No wonder with low interest rate and the printing press going like crazy for many years now. Gold over $1000 isn't crazy, it should actually be around $2500 which is closer to it's real price considering inflation since the 80's peak. As for the stock market, it's a good idea to buy after the market as rebounded from the lows and give good technical and fundamental reasons for you to jump in, unless yours top are quite tight. This could be a much deeper drop that people expect especially if this recession (because the USA is in a recession even if no one wants to admit it yet) turn into something worst (like a depression or stagflation).
