Ben commented on the day’s 4.4% decline in the Dow Jones Industrial Average after news of the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy and Bank of America purchase of Merrill Lynch. Ben urged investors not to panic, stay diversified, and to make decisions based upon an investment plan that was written during more rational and less volatile times.
