Stay the course. Stay the course. Stay the course. Stay the course. Stay the course.

I quote verbatim from today's Wall Street Journal:

"Last week's 4.8% swoon was the worst weekly decline since U.S. stocks began their rally on Nov. 21, and now the fear is that the market may be beginning another leg down."

Let me see if I have this right. Last week the Journal said, in the article obliquely referenced in the quote above, stocks were due to rise. Today, they are saying they may fall.

I am not picking on the Journal. It is a great paper. I am picking on the way people cover investing. They need to write something every day. But that doesn't mean you have to do something every day with your money. Or every month. If you are happy with the way you have allocated your money, then, in the words of the headline "stay the course."
