Are you falling of a cliff as well or do you use systematic and objective analysis?
Are you buying the dip or selling all your funds? Are you paralyzed by fear when markets drop more than 4% in a single day or do you stay calm and relaxed? How do you decide if you see this sell-off as a temporary correction or the beginning of a longer bear market?
Anybody, who tells you that he is absolutely certain that this is a correction or the beginning of a bear market, is lying or does not know what he talks about.
Nobody knows the future. But objective analysis can give us an indication of what will most likely follow.
