In deregulated markets, one can shout "FIRE"

The "good news" around our house yesterday was that our plummeting 401k has lost less percentage than the Dow has. "See? We are way outperforming the market!"

I try to think of this like a discount, that's all--look honey, Wall Street is having a huge sale, let's go stock up for the winter! Not that we have any extra money to buy in with, but our regular contributions from the paycheck are continuing like clockwork.
