Take out a piece of paper, grab a pen, and get ready to jot down a few notes. Think about these things over the coming days and week, then put aside time to actually complete the final investment policy statement, which you review quarterly, semi-annually, annually, or bi-annually to ensure you are still on track. By making decisions when you are calm and the world is in order, you won't be as tempted to stray when there is blood running in the streets and television reporters are breathlessly screaming about the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 collapsing.
