The major averages sold off with renewed fervor on Monday, but investors should resist the urge to join in. Fresh off its worst week since last October, the S & P 500 dropped more than 1% on Monday afternoon. The CBOE Volatility Index , known as the market's fear gauge, leapt more than 10% to 19.17.

Sell selectively There is an art to selling your losing positions. Tax-loss harvesting involves selling losers in your taxable account and using these losses to offset realized gains within your portfolio. If those losses exceed gains, you can offset up to $3,000 a year in ordinary income. Be mindful of your asset allocation as you decide what positions you're selling. You can use the proceeds to buy an asset that will keep you similarly exposed to the market and help you meet your goals.
