I've been putting money away into a retirement fund throughout this career for what is a very very modest sum (yeah, being in LA and then NYC screwed me way over) and finally allocated the funds into a selection of etfs and mutual funds in October of this past year. Well, the stock market hasn't been doing so hot these past couple of months and I've seen about 9k of my money disappear into thin air. I talked to the firm where I have my money and they said I should leave my managed account alone and over the long haul, it'll grow to more than what it was originally. I'm freaking out. Any advice as to what to do? I've been told to leave it alone and ride out the market. But some have told me to close out my managed account with the firm and convert the money into cash and bonds.
