I by and sell based on the value. Currently there are few values even with the dip since so many stocks were at a high. I've looked at oil since they are hammered recently and probably can't stay low forever. Even those are still way out of control

Do nothing. Keep saving cash and when a real opportunity presents itself, then buy at the "sale" price.

I sold some puts on the spiders, (SPY).
And, I bought some XIV, so as to benefit when the VIX reverts to the mean. So far, so good.

I must admit, the drop in energy stocks looks appealing, i may start buying small amounts of VGELX.

XOM is trading at 12 times earnings with 3.5% yield. Chevron is at 10.5 times earnings with 4.5% yield. Valero is at 8.9 times earnings, yielding 2.48%. |

High risk given the oil market and headwinds facing the offshore drilling sector, but damn they could be great long term investments. |

I sold everything. I had to discount a lot of it to get rid of it. I'll wait until the market has turned around and is irrationally exuberant before I buy anything again. It's just a matter of timing.

I have more in Transocean (RIG) than I've ever had in a single stock before. I'm hoping this is a good long term play. It's very low now compared against historical highs. I could be wrong and may lose money, but I'm thinking if I hold it long enough, I'll turn a profit. Only questions are how long and how much of a profit. |

Buying more shares of excellent dividend growth stocks. No one ever wake up in the morning, turned on the TV and said, "Shit! The stock market's crashing! I gotta stop using my food stamps to buy doritos, sodas, cigarettes, and other stupid shit I don't need!"
Invest for cash flow and all anxiety about the stock market crashing disappears. Pay no attention to the alarmists on MSN. If they were so smart about investing they would just do that instead of working at a television network. |

My reaction? "Sweet! Stocks are on sale!"
on edit: My retirement accounts are set to automatically rebalance every quarter, this makes sure that when stocks are on sale for any duration I will get a piece of it while selling stuff that is overvalued. |

It's just a matter of timing. There are a lot of good companies that are down over 20% from their 52 week high. The market as a whole is up a lot, but there are deals out there. Oil stocks are down a lot some utilities are also. I'm watching railroad stocks now. If NSC crosses below $80 I'm buying. That will be about 32% down from it's 52 week high. Some ADRs are cheap now also due to the strong dollar. I picked up mining companies like BBL & RIO cheap. There will always be a need for companies like RIO and BBL and both made money after the crash in 2008 and pay around a 6% yield to wait for the next commodity bubble.

I'm still pumping money into the C fund in my TSP as usual. I'm a fan or Warren Buffett's buy and hold philosophy.
I should probably stock up on more ammo and pmags while I can. Possibly a Colt AR to flip in the future too. |

Well that dip was short lived, the morons who sold off stock at a loss due to the fear of losing money are feeling pretty foolish right now i'm sure.
Moral of the story.....DO NOTHING EXCEPT HOLD AND BUY ON THE DIP. |

The dip wasn't even worth mentioning. I don't add additional funds unless it's a 5% or more dip. Never even got there. Looks like earnings are doing well and the 2nd half of the year will be better than the first.

Stocks go up and stocks go down. But in the long term they go up. Don't try to time the market. Just stay with your slow and steady plan.

There have been 5 year periods (not many), but no 10 year. Investing well is not all that hard if you take the time to do some reading/learning. |

Dollar cost averaging.
I've panicked before and pulled myself out on a dip only to lose a crap-ton of money when they rebound and I'm still out. I'm not paying attention to gloom and doom anymore. Markets fluctuate. If the market goes down to the point where the overall trend is bearish then I may reallocate but I will still be putting new funds into the market since the stocks will be at a discount. I've got 20-30 years before I retire so the only consistent trend is up. We may be overdue for a correction, but I'm not sweating it. |

Frankly, this is good. The market needs a haircut, PE ratios are insane. Everyone knows the market in no way represents the strength of the real economy. It's simply being pumped by everyone with any kind of assets looking for somewhere to put cash and beat (real) inflation.
Well, it's "good" in that it's way better than having a bubble. I'd be way more worried if it just kept on going up.
