Goldy, you're question suggests that you're considering making trading decisions based on emotion (Feeling "kinda down"). If you do, you will lose every time.
It hurts to watch your portfolio in a bear market, and the last couple of times I've gone through it, I thought "This is rigged, this is for suckers" but I held on and things came back. The question I ask myself, and maybe you should, is, "Is the risk I'm taking comfortable, and do the returns justify it?"
The other question is, how much do you need, and how soon do you need it? If you need it soon, and can't risk another 20% drop, then you shouldn't be in stocks.
