During times of extreme volatility, many strategists say avoid panic selling.
As the declines continue, new records continue to be set. The major averages just posted their worst week since the financial crisis. The Dow is tracking for its worst month since 1931, the S&P since 1940.And yet, in the midst of all the selling, there have been some good days mixed in, too. The Dow's 5 worst single-day point drops have all been this month, but so have the index's four best days, all of which saw a gain of more than 1,000 points.
Experts typically advise retail investors to avoid the impulse to time the market, which can be difficult even for professional traders. Goldman Sachs found that "households," which they define as retail investors as well as some professionals such as hedge funds, are the only subset of shareholders that have "sold equities during each bear market since 1950."
