I would do like I did, and get out of the market quick, and put it all in CDs or similar. That will avoid the roller coaster stress and potential huge losses.
Putting your money in a CD is a sure way to lose money. You get 5% annual interest, you pay tax on it and in the meantime there is a 4% inflation. Your starting principal is worth less at maturity six months later.
