Probably the best way to handle the kind of market volatility of the last year for those who are not in or near retirement is to have a plan where a fixed amount of money is invested each month, perhaps from a payroll deduction. This would average out the ups and downs in the market over the long term, while providing good returns depending on diversity, investment allocations, and risk.
