So from many replies here, what goes up, must come down and basically "don't worry." Yet, from listening to the news on this story, it's a complete mess and it sure seems like there is cause to worry or why is this even a story? If all of us keep our money invested, and nobody worries, it'll be ok??? I don't know.

The news stories on the stock market is exactly like the news stories during hurricanes - sensationalized and designed to draw you in. To be sure, we are going through a pretty historic decline in the market (notwithstanding yesterday's increase and this morning's increase) and I think we still have a few painful days ahead, but once again, the long-term view must be taken.
