As an investor, it's hard to see the market fall. Unfortunately, during tough economic times that's exactly what happens. It's frightening in times like these to look at your portfolio and see it drop -- sometimes in a big way.
That, however, is when you need to take a step back, evaluate the companies you own, and consider if your investment thesis holds. Are these still companies that you believe will be bigger in the long-term?
During an uncertain market, it makes sense to add to your positions in good companies and to hold onto stocks that will ultimately recover. Remember that you are not investing for today, but for many years in the future.
