The longer I'm in this business the more convinced I am that change is the only constant. I realize that market ups and downs can be extreme and unpredictable, and that volatility can play havoc with your nerves. In times like these, I like to remind my clients to expect the unexpected and try not to let emotion derail your long-term investment plans. One of the most common temptations is to lose patience and sell as prices continue to drop.

 Now may be a good time to re-evaluate your portfolio — to get back to basics. We don't have a crystal ball, but often take solace in history: over the long haul, the U.S. stock market has risen more than it has declined, reflecting the fact that the economy and business activity have expanded and overcome periodic downturns.*
