I keep this Buffet quote on my desk at all times.

"During such scary periods, you should never forget two things:  First, widespread fear is your friend as an investor, because it serves up bargain purchases.  Second, personal fear is your enemy.  It will also be unwarranted.  Investors who avoid high and unnecessary costs and simply sit for an extended period with a collection of large, conservatively-financed American businesses will almost certainly do well."
