This week has seen one of the most remarkable sell-offs in recent history.
Fears of the coronavirus spreading have moved markets into correction territory.
This morning, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down another 1,085 points (4%) in early trading.
Remember, panicking is the worst thing you can do right now.
Make no mistake, it's only natural to worry when the markets fall so sharply.
But this is the time that maintaining a disciplined investing approach is so important.
You can't let emotions drive your decision making.
One way to maintain that discipline is finding discounted stocks that pay solid dividends.
Collecting cash dividends is one of the best ways to offset losses by the broader markets.
And this market correction has driven down the price of many stocks that are still poised to outperform over the long term.
