The "experts" have given you all their perspective of what this recent market flucuation is all about. If you are 5 years or less away from retirement and you have lost more than 20% of the value of your portfolio it is unbalanced! See your broker! Rebalace it, you have too much risk as you near retirement. BTW, it may not be your brokers fault, you may have told him that you are very risk/reward tolerant. If any other situation exists, don't look at your portflio, just watch the sunup and sunset, you will be fine. BTW, I am not connected to the Financial Services business in any way.

Just a semi-educated guy who is 13 years away from retirement and he will be adding bonds to his portfolio in 5 years. But not before!
