Freeus, times like this are not easy on anyone. One day up, next day down. Big swings in the market's indexes, same for some stocks. Many stock now at 52 week lows, etc, etc. I believe that their are two things an investor should consider. (I stress the word "investor" as compared to a speculator or trader.) First, consider asset allocation, this will reduce the volatility of one's portfolio. Second, if your investments are still fundamentally sound, sit tight. If the fundamentals of any of your investments have really changed for the worse and, you don't see any future improvement, you might then consider selling in order to minimize future losses.
Last, but not least, remember that for every positive analyst on CNBC, and the other networks, there is one negative analyst. Listening to their "spin" on the current events can drive one nuts. So, I think its wise for each individual investor to monitor the economic indicators in order to determine how the larger economic situation will affect the markets.
