Intra-Year Declines
It is common for there to be declines in the markets throughout the year, sometimes even double digits declines.
This is to be expected.
As an investor, one of the reasons we diversify and modify our allocations throughout the year is to try to minimize these fluctuations.
What should you do when there is one of these expected declines? It depends on the situation at that time.

Unemployment Rate / Participation Rate
 Unemployment decreased to 8.3%. Good.
Participation Rate of the work force at 30 year lows. Bad. In my opinion, we're at a time in history where there is a dramatic shift in the employment make-up, skills needed, globalization, etc. This relatively short term (1 to 10 years) transition will not be without pain for many, but the market does eventually adjust.

Corporate Profitability
 I say in my video that "on balance" I'm more optimistic than pessimistic for 2012.
See above graph.
Europe, China, Deleveraging, etc. are the forces against this we have to watch out for.
