Frankly, I don't see the big deal about the stock market correction. Stocks go up, stocks go down. Isn't that what is supposed to happen?

I choose my stocks carefully and invest for the long term. 20 years or more. It doesn't really concern me what they do from day to day. What matters is that the company I invest in is a solid company that will be around for a while. Such as Lockheed Martin, Wal-Mart, Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson. Maybe I will even get significant dividends from these companies over time. For my 401(k), I choose mutual funds and diversify my portfolio from fixed to aggressive based on my age. I'm 40 now so I got 60% of my 401(k) in stocks. By the time I'm 65, that ratio will be down to 35%.

I suppose if I invested in those fly-by-night dot.coms, I'd have something to worry about. Those poor fools who paid $100 a share for stocks like Yahoo!, they may never get that money back. But the typical investor who is in it for the long term like me and has picked wisely for the most part, just ride this sucker out. Five or ten years from now, you won't be kicking yourself in the pants for having locked in your losses during a moment of panic.
