I sold about a third of the of the mutual fund I'm in just before things started going south. Wish I had sold it all... Sigh.

At this point I'm just going to ride out and hope things get back up in a couple years. I may regret this, but "locking in" the losses doesn't thrill me, and with my luck, I won't have the guts to get back in until things are up. So, I'm just trying to be happy a good portion is in cash reserves and just ride out the rest.
