Here are today’s notable headlines.

Being a CEO today just stinks. The economy is melting down. No one trusts each other. And the chieftains don’t even know if their customers will survive.

What’s this mean for your technology department? A lot of upheaval and perhaps one big do-over that starts in 2009.

It's normal to feel insecure while you watch the value of your 401(k) dwindle, but there's no reason to panic.

Unless the Federal Reserve wants to completely freak out Wall Street, the central bank is not going to raise or cut interest rates Tuesday.

The market is prepared for no change.

Question: I have a pretty vanilla investment portfolio and an advisor who tells me to stay the course every time I call him while freaking out about the market.

This money is my nest egg. I invest conservatively with mutual funds not individual stocks/ bonds. In other words, should I stay the course or freak out and sell?
