Welcome to the Jill on Money Show. It's Monday, March 9th. And whoa, last week was a big week,

lots of volatility. So I know this kind of activity does breed uncertainty and anxiety. And you know

that I'm going to say that you've got to look through this and you're

a long-term investor, but also want to give you kind of the reality on the ground as well.

So Mark and I thought that it would make sense for us to air a segment that I did over the

Of course, if there's something big going on in your life, if there is an issue you would like to discuss, if you wonder how all this is going to impact your decision making, get in touch with

us. Go to jillunmoney.com, click the contact us button, write us a note, and let us know if you'd be

as you look ahead. So here's a segment from a couple days ago. This is CBS Saturday morning.
