As Wall Street worries about a possible war with Iraq, it can be hard for investors to manage their portfolios given the uncertainty. But financial planners say there are ways to avoid costly mistakes.

Stocks have slid in recent weeks, giving back the gains from their big New Year's rally and then some, largely because of war concerns. Analysts have said a conflict could lead to higher oil prices and depressed consumer spending, leading to weaker corporate profits.

That has complicated matters for investors who after three years of declines were looking to adjust their holdings. But advisers have some suggestions:

_ Refrain from basing investment decisions on one-time events.

_ Reassess your risk tolerance.

_ Think twice before jumping into the traditional safe havens of gold and bonds.

_ Don't give up on your 401(k).

_ Hold on to stocks and consider buying more.
