what a steep fall....more than 70 points during lunch. as I type this, it is 66 points in the red. you should NOT worry if 1) the stocks u bought are based on sound fundamental analysis and market ups and downs are beyond anyone's control 2) u are investing on a long time frame. 2) no contra deals involved. 3) no borrowed money. 4) the original plan is still intact, In my case, I am a dividend investor, so if this fall continues, this sounds like good news for i can buy more for the same amount of dividend received. I will be a little concerned if a dividend cut happens and will be more concerned if no dividends declared when i expect some. The latter senario is the one i would least expect since the counters i owned, have paid dividends faithfully for the past 1 decade ......
