• Control what you can – it is normal to have bear markets
• Remember that with a balanced portfolio, only part of your securities are invested in the stock market.
• Remember we’ve already planned for bear market cycles
• Use capital losses to net out capital gains and rebalance back to your asset allocation target
• Opportunistic buying and selling (i.e. rebalance to purchase out of favor assets)
• Review concentrated stock positions you’d like to reduce (i.e. company stock, low basis stock, etc.)
• Review high cost investment positions to replace (i.e.  low basis high cost mutual funds)
• Consider Roth IRA conversions
• Consider legacy planning
• Think about cash needs in the near term
