I tell people to sell when the market is making new highs, not after the market has tumbled. And they never listen and don't want to hear it.

It really depends on your personal situation and other investments and income.

It makes a difference if this is a taxable account or a tax deferred account and what is your tax basis.

If you have losses in a taxable account to take then you will want to sell enough to cover any gains distributions plus enough to deduct the $3,000 from your regular income on your taxes if you itemize.

Even funds that lose money will making capital gains distributions from trading activity. Most funds will give estimates of what that will be for the end of the year.

In a non tax account I think people should sell all then put money back in 10% at a time over the next year starting in January because I think the market is likely to go down further. That way if it goes down you are buying at a better price and if it goes up you have some invested and profit. IOW, Dollar Cost Average (DCA) back in.

Many have been talking about a "bottoming process" right now. But they also say it will be "volatile" over the next year. I read that as saying it could go down further.

But if you think this is the bottom then you should hold.

I can't say what is best for you. I am in all cash but have been for over a year and not ready to get back in yet.

I will likely do the DCA thing unless there is some other change in the economy. That will put me 100% back in about a year from now.

I think next year will not be good at all for the economy or the market.

Good luck.

Sit tight and don't panic.
In the hundred or so years that stock market activity has been recorded, there have been about 30 market declines and exactly the same number of recoveries.

If anything, buy. Scrape together some funds and pick up more of the best performers in your portfolio that are currently down.
Also - if you have the option to lock in capital losses, do that. That is: if you have a fund that's way down, and for little or no commission can transfer to another fund in the same family that's at about the same price and performs equally well, you'll take an on-paper loss that will benefit you on your 2008 taxes. Talk to your financial advisor first, though, to be sure you do it right (like, so you don't do it in an IRA account...)

If you are an active contributor to your mutual funds, the best thing that could ever happen happened to you last month. When the market goes belly up, sure...I'm lamenting about the high prices I paid for securities in the past, but I'm excited about the now low prices that are being offered right now. The market is going to recover. It might take a year. It might take five years. However, when the market does recover, you're going to miss out on a lot of profits if you take your money out now. So, my advice is....ride it out. It's too late to move your investments to more secure options. The time to do that was a year ago. Now, the best you can do is hope that the market recovers before you retire. As long as your retirement is at least ten years away, the odds are in your favor.

Buy high sell low is what I always say.

Take your bumps and bruises, dust yourself off and take what's left and put it in a safe place for a while.
You didn't get hurt as bad as some. I don't think it's over yet, but you can always chance it.

TAKE IT OUT!
If you want to know what stock you should be investing in I would suggest American International Group (AIG) it has hit it lowest and has just started the rise back to the top. Invest all you can spare into this instant money maker. I am a professional stock broker for tdameritrade.com and i have been putting 50% of all my clients' money into AIG and I have to tell you the chance is closing on getting a major deal on the stock it is rising fast and will double within the next month.
