## Key points

- Advisers say investors should stick to plans suited to their goals.
- Nasdaq futures bounced after the index entered correction territory.
- Past rebounds and election patterns do not guarantee future gains.

## Summary

Financial advisers are urging investors to follow their long-term plans during the market sell-off rather than react to short-term swings. They say panic can be a prompt to check whether investments still match a person’s goals and tolerance for risk.

Carolyn McClanahan recommends sticking to an investment policy suited to individual needs and tuning out market noise. Tra Sullivan said US shares have often risen in the 12 months after midterm elections, but stressed this is not a guarantee; he also noted that recoveries can come faster than expected. Nasdaq futures rose in Friday pre-market trading as chip stocks bounced after the index entered correction territory, while Dan Moisand argued that long-term resilience has tended to pay better than trying to time the market.
