This part sounds like good advice around now, HO HO HO! Unlike other life experiences, such as retirement, there is no effective way to plan for a genuine market panic, said White House chief economic advisor Lawrence Lindsey. However, he added, people can be proactive once the panic does hit. Among his suggestions: ¤ Eat your young. "It seems barbaric, but trust me, if you don't do it, someone else will, and you'll end up kicking yourself." ¤ If you live in Manhattan and hear somebody sing "It's Rainin' Men," don't hum along. Jump out of the way. ¤ Diversify your portfolio. Always sound advice, no matter the economic climate. ¤ Set aside 10 percent of your pre-tax income for firearms. ¤ Will your online broker be there in a market panic? Maybe it's time you switched to a Schwab One account. (paid advertisement)
