I wish it comes back as fast as it falls off.

Only if you sold. And that's on you.

I refuse to check.  Nothing i can do about it anyway.  My prayer is we all stay healthy.

I liquidated some a little earlier in the week for some short term cash needs. I kind of wish I waited a couple of days. I could've reduced my capital gains exposure even further. 

 

Perspective. It's all in how you look at it.

We got out of stock market based funds when the Ebola crisis hit

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

We're down about 12% from our highs.  The market was overdue for a pullback anyway.  It will become a good buying opportunity for those with cash on the side.

My dividends are being reinvested at a much lower rate.  Thankfully I don't need to touch anything.
