Season Investor Investment Idea

As long as you didn't do any CONTRA, MARGIN financing or speculate, I don't see any big deals with the upcoming correction. 

Yes I think it is a CORRECTION rather than a full blown recessionary event.

Let let the recent Trade tariff affect your feeling and emotion. Yes it may bring down all the ships (no doubts) but when the tide recovers, those strong guys will survive (blue chips and fundamentally financially strong companies).

Don't read too much into news and affect your investment decision..

If profits were evaporating for a stock I am excited about, I will get even more excited because that also means the share price is coming down which offers me a chance to add to my position in this same exciting stock if the price is worth adding more. Then the next round when the price heads higher again, I will be multiplying the profits in this same stock on a larger position. It is great to hold an increasingly larger position in an exciting stock through time of which it's underlying business fundamentals are strong and growing fast whenever the share price is sensible to keep adding to one's position, the more exciting the share price at cheap valuation the better for an exciting business!

But for the average person, shifts in the market, even ones as dramatic as the ones we've seen this year, shouldn't be cause for panic. During times of volatility, seasoned investors Warren Buffett and Ray Dalio agree that it's best to stay calm and stick to the basics.

"Don't watch the market closely," Buffett told CNBC in 2016 amid wild market fluctuations. "If they're trying to buy and sell stocks, and worry when they go down a little bit … and think they should maybe sell them when they go up, they're not going to have very good results."

Buffett emphasized that holding onto investments long-term is crucial to having them pay off. "The money is made in investments by investing and by owning good companies for long periods of time," the Berkshire Hathaway CEO told CNBC. "If they buy good companies, buy them over time, they're going to do fine 10, 20, 30 years from now."

Dalio, the founder of investment firm Bridgewater Associates who is worth an estimated $14.6 billion, agrees. Though it's tempting to sell when the market begins to drop, he says, giving in to your fear is not a sound strategy.

"You can not possibly succeed that way," Dalio said at the Harvard Kennedy School's Institute of Politics. "You've got to do the opposite. It's when you're not scared you probably want to sell, and when you are scared, you probably want to buy."

Both investors say that the best way to invest successfully is by not trying too hard to anticipate market fluctuations and by staying calm despite them.

Trade/invest base on your decision.
