I didn't make any "knee jerk" reactions based on the news.  I am still holding steady on my investments and waiting for the direction of the market(s).  Meanwhile I'll collect some pretty good dividends next week.  Even if the market(s) fall lower in the near term, in the long run I'll still do pretty well.

As I have said before and I think TRM is on near the same page, trying to time the market and reacting on news is a fool's game.  A pull back and correction has been expected for quite some time.  This dip right now looks like a good buying opportunity and if you have a 401k, I would suggest contributing the max that you can.  Over time the market is only going to go up barring something catastrophic.  If I was buying individual stocks I would pay attention to the fundamentals and stay far away from industries like cruise lines and/or hotels (pretty much anything hospitality related).  They are losing money.  I would also stay away from bitcoin.  There is no real value in those (in my opinion).
