The stock market topped out with the DJ IA a little over 14,000, before it started its slide. I wouldn't be surprised to see the DJ IA go to 7,000, losing half its previous highs. The DJ IA is made up of 30 blue chip corporate stocks, (eg .http://nyjobsource.com/djia.html ). I'm guessing the average portfolio will likewise lose half its previous highs, before we hit bottom, but some portfolios will do better and other worse.
All the losses are paper loses, unless the stock is actually sold, so I'm going to hold on to my stocks, selling as little as possible while the market is down. Also, I'll invest as much as I can right now, while stocks are down, then when the market recovers, I can splurge and enjoy some of my gains. I'm strictly a long term investor. Right now the DJIA is at 8,628.25 down 242.29 or 2.73% for the day. Over the next 10 to 15 years years the DJIA will probably go to 28,000.
