IT, << I wouldn't do anything drastic if I were the little guy (and like many of you, I am), but do do what makes you comfortable in your investment decisions.>> Wise counsel. I think the first task is to do no harm while you assess the macro-market environment and your own situation. On the one hand, don't extend yourself further (don't add to your margin, for example). On the other hand, don't panic. Staying cool at a time like this will be an asset. But be prepared to make substantive decisions on your portfolio and its risk profile, if your assessment of the macro-market environment warrants doing so. This is for real. just my two cents ...
