Stock Markets in a Sea of Red?

The worst thing you could have done on monday was looked at stock markets in a sea of red, panicked and sold out. By the time you already see the big stock market falls, it's maybe too late. All your doing is locking in the losses and not giving yourself the opportunity for your investments to go back up. And that's very important if you are an investor who's approaching retirement or in retirement. But i think maybe someof the great successes of the years ahead might not be the ones that have been the stratospheric high flier story stocks of the years past.
