  "If you don't want (the downturn) to be a life-changing event, you need to reset," Boston University professor Jeffrey Heisler said."Look at the long-term goal and look at what you have to invest at the kinds of returns you expect going forward.Then you regroup and carry on, rather than acting desperate."
  
  Altering expectations.
  
  This is probably the healthiest change that can come from a downturn, but also the most difficult to put into action.

  "People's faith has been shaken," says Jeffrey Heisler, a Boston University professor who studies investor behavior."People had come to believe a narrow set of things about the right way to invest and had forgotten and overlooked a lot of what the experts and academics consider the right way."
  
  Combine market volatility and the fear arising out of multiple corporate scandals with the average investor's short-term expectations for the market, and you've got a recipe for ditching conventional wisdom.
  
  John, a 33-year-old from Charlestown, seemed to speak for many when he wrote into a forum on Boston.com yesterday, saying he was about ready to give up on taking the long-term view of his investments."At this point," he wrote, "I am rapidly losing faith."
  ...
  "Buying on the dips works," Heisler says, "as long as you have a solid investment and the dip doesn't get too deep.When the dip gets too large ... people start thinking `This thing could go to zero, and relative to zero now is a great time to get out.' ... It's easy to second-guess yourself out of buying on the dips and into selling near the bottom."
  
  Bailing out to seek a haven.
  
  This is the strategy that gets ripped by most specialists, yet it is also the one that can feel best during turbulent times.

  ''People need to think about whether they are acting the way they normally do , or if they have been investing a certain way because they felt like they couldn't lose , '' says Jeffrey Heisler , a Boston University professor who studies behavioral finance. ''They need to stay in touch with their reasons for investing the way they do , and make sure that their actions are in line with what they are trying to achieve.''.
  
  Specifically , they need to look at their own personal ''ordinary'' course of action and why they are following their current strategy , be it buy-and-hold , day-trading , or anything in between.

  You shouldn't be looking at what to do right now -- in terms of big strategy moves -- so much as you should be looking at what you really want to own right now, what stocks or funds you could buy now that you would expect to want to own for many, many years, says Jeffrey Heisler, a Boston University professor who studies behavioral finance.You should decide what you really want to have in your portfolio in the long-term, and not worry so much about the next six or eight months.The problem is, that's easier said than done..

  Jeffrey Heisler, a Boston University professor specializing in the impact of individual behavior on markets, observes "some investors prepare for the future by extrapolating from the past.Those investors operate with small-sample biases, looking at pop-up windows of the past year even when 70 years of data are available, basing investment decisions on whatever is most vivid."This approach does not promote investment peace.We therefore remain committed to international investing.
  
  Other news that might cause one's peace to be disturbed is the National Bureau of Economic Research recent announcement that the impressive expansion the U.S. economy had been enjoying since the early 1990s came to a halt as of March of 2001.Since then the U.S. economy officially has been in a recession.
