To be honest, I'd quite happily see the markets languish for another 6-12 months to give me a chance to build up my portfolio at a decent price. I am confident in a market recovery, so not interested in any panic selling, and have learned about panic buying too (mainly because I did it myself thinking I would miss the boat). Till then, a sea of red really doesn't bother me, although I would like to be able to spend more time trading.
