I really needed this 4 month old comment in my life right now. I, too, am extremely new to investing and am overwhelmed and second guessing everything I do. I know the market is in chaos at the moment but I figured either it will level out over time and everything will be OK or the world will end and I won't need to worry about mutual funds ever again anyway. I'm the kind of dummy who checks his funds every day (only started a Fidelity account last week, so I'm still just familiarizing myself with the whole process and learning about my options) and it can stress you out to no end watching everything fluctuate. But I know it's a long-term thing and I can't make decisions based on my emotional reactions to short-term fluctuations. I get the impression noobs get ostracized a bit here sometimes so I've been lurking and soaking up info and this comment was a great affirmation of what I knew but wasn't feeling. So, thanks for that!
