Should You Really Be Buying Stocks Right Now?
As of May 20, the S&P Index of 500 of America's biggest companies was down a sizable 18% year to date. The Nasdaq stock market was down much more -- 27%.

With all that panic and all that selling going on, what should you do? Well, there's a good case to be made that you should buck the crowds and buy stocks. Here's a look at whether you should do so.
