I'd contemplate my navel and consolidate more lint.

I've known a lot of people who have lost from investments, it's not funny.

I'm like Mr. Index Funds now, so this doesn't apply to me.

I think I would try to keep my portfolio diversified enough that I would never be screwed if a single stock tanked. If this did happen, I suppose I'd be angry at a broker who'd put that much of my investment in one place. But markets are unpredictable, and there's not really anything you can do about it.

Ding, ding, ding! TeddyMiller got it right! Heh, these are the stocks Gomez Addams was always going on about on the old TV show. I don't know why, but I've been thinking about those stocks lately....

I'd sit on it and wait - most investments are for the long run (unless it's Enron!).

I was freaking to see my savings dwindle in investments but for the first time in a long while, the last statements I bothered looking at showed increases! * smile *
