from a CBS marketwatch guru: 1. Do nothing 2. Don't panic 3. Never, never time the market 4. Remember, daytraders die broke 5. Diversify your portfolio 6. Keep tech holdings under 15 percent 7. And Internet holdings under 5 percent 8. Buy and hold long-term winners 9. Trust yourself 10. Lighten up, there are more important things in life And now here's one more -- for the moment: 11. This too shall pass To paraphrase Schwager, "Do not get caught up in mass hysteria of this technology market correction.. By the time this story gets analyzed to death by the national press and media, the trend is over and it is too late to do anything anyway!" You are a long-term, buy'n'hold investor. Believe it. Trust yourself. This is the test! The moment of truth. Do nothing! Take the kids to soccer. Go to a movie, the new DreamWorks movie, Eldorado. Or take the family out to a nice restaurant for dinner and celebrate what's really important in life, crash or no crash. Whatever you do, turn off CNBC and CNN tonight. No more anxiety! Remember rule #10, lighten up. If you want to watch television, catch "Third Rock From The Sun!" Good laughs. Besides, doesn't the Nasdaq kinda remind you of that silly "Third Rock" humor? Like we're on the "Third Rock" folks! I guarantee you laughing and dinner with the family will make you a better investor for the long-term than today's breaking news on CNBC. PS, I would change #3 above to: Take the Marketimer newslatter.....8)))))Rich
