Don't stay away but must trade with caution.

Some choose to stay away and exit the position in the bear market. But I think best is to review the portfolio and take some reactions. Exit from those weak positions/stocks. Zoom-in the good company (and now may have a quite a good discounted in price) then use dollars averaging method to buy slow and average the cost fown the road. The hardest hit may yet to come, save our bullet for the fight but must stay inside to be more caution with the changes of the market.
