Gut Check Time
So, how did you react? Do you still want to invest in the stock market? There is nothing wrong with deciding you are not ready. I believe it actually is a learning process to learn to lose a bit of money in the market before you can handle big swings that often happen. If you did poorly, then I suggest you keep a SMALL percentage in the market and track how it does over many years. That way you will find yourself getting comfortable with more money invested. A perfect way to start is to open an IRA!
