Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
Per Glenn Beck's warning a few years ago, I pulled ALL of my retirement money o/o the market and lost nothing when it crashed.

The best investment advice I ever gave myself, is never put more than 3% of your net worth in any one investment.

If you have diversification, you will be hit by the bad things, but that will be made up by the good things.
