Sorry to hear that. I had been hiding out in low PE stocks - for example I own Momenta Pharamceuticals. It just went from a PE of 8 to a PE 3.92. Makes absolutely no sense to sell at this price - even though it'll head lower along with all the rest of the stocks. These past two weeks are as bad as I can remember. Here's to survival to see better days. - A.

KUDOS TO YOU FOR ADMITTING YOUR PAIN THAT MANY OTHERS ARE PRETENDING DO NOT EXIST. I am trying hard to stock to the plan of reinvesting at lower prices since I hold mostly high dividend stocks and hold them for the long run. These past few weeks the loses have been painful, but I remember in 2009 buying some stocks for the dividend like CAT and WHR, CERNER, etc., and tossed them out for a few points. This time I am sticking it out and believe that if our country goes down, then I will have more to worry about than a portfolio. I can't compare to 2008 since I was in cash, but this time I am doing something different, and those holding good, dividend paying stocks have done fine since 2008. Your paycheck comes regardless of share price. They say that dividends are a large percentage of market return over the long run. Nothing says that louder than a 10 year, negative 5% return in the S&P.
