This thread topic or some variant of it pops up whenever there is market volatility. Unless you are trying to day trade or time the market, if you are watching your investments on a day to day basis and reacting to day to day changes you are doing it wrong. Keep one to two years of living expenses in cash and let the market do what it is going to do making small adjustments along the way. Watching your investments on a daily basis and reacting to it just creates emotion which can be expensive.
