continues our coverage. >> reporter: larry and ama, good afternoon. the numbers you mentioned are stunning even for the veteran traders. as you can imagine a lot of people are sitting at home asking, so what does this mean for me? experts say for now, sit back and take a deep breath. stock shock on wall street following a big drop in markets in asia and europe. >> this is scary. this stock sell-off did come basically from out of the blue for most people. >> reporter: over the last weeks, the average american 401(k) lost $6,000. sounds bad but over the last five years that same retirement account is actually up 61%, meaning, if possible, remain calm. >> you look at the great recession, 2009, bailed on the market in 2009 lost half of their money. those who stayed, as tough as it

was to do, made all that money back in three years. >> reporter: the white house is blaming the market volatility mostly on china's economic slowdown and downplaying any talk of a u.s. recession. >> u.s. businesses over the last 65 consecutive months added 13 million jobs, the largest sustained private sector job growth streak in american history. >> reporter: finally, if you're in the market for a new car or home, we could soon be the first federal interest rate hike since 2008. and with all things considered, experts say proceed with caution. >> make these decisions thinking about your income. make these decisions thinking about your savings and don't put yourself on the line. don't go out on a limb because people say it's a sure bet. >> reporter: remember, we've been down this road before and we eventually bounce back. with that in mind, if you can, do not panic and do not make any hasty moves. we are live in new york. ama and larry, back to you.

>> all right, elizabeelizabeth, you so much. apple ceo tim cook helped recover the losses after the markets opened. cook put investors' minds at ease by sending an email to "mad money" host jim cramer. he said iphone's app store had its best performance of the year in the last two weeks. >> so what can you do to protect your investment? >> michael finney is here now with some tips. >> reporter: all day long we've heard financial advisers tell consumers to stay the course this while a lot of the big money has been buying and selling. so what should you do? nothing, buy, sell? well, before we look back, we need to look forward. we know that warren buffett says you should expect returns of 6% to 7% a year. others project as much as 8%. we also know that average in 2003 the s&p 500 nearly returned

29%. we know, too, that five years later in 2008 lost 37% f. you're buying a 29 and selling a 37, you're going to hurt yourself. what you need is some room to breathe. that way when the stock market is making these wild changes up and down, you can decide on what to do not out of fear. most financial advisers will tell you that means you need different piles of money. your first pile should be one that is invested in stock that will grow over time. this is money you won't touch for 10 or 15 years. and then you need a second pile of money for your immediate needs. that money will be in cash, money markets and bonds, relatively safe places to park your money. you see, if you know you have enough money for the next couple of years, you're less likely to sell when you should sit tight or even buy. you see, there were a lot of

retirees who panicked back in 2008 and had to work several more years because they weren't ready for a downturn. having separate piles of money keeps you thinking about what can happen and what you need. larry? ama? >> thank you, michael. first, i need piles of money. that's a good place to start. stay with us for continuing coverage of this stock market slide. abc 7 news reporter david louie will have local reaction coming up at 5:00 and 6:00 and get updates anytime on twitter at abc7news bay area. spencer christian with a look at a new workweek. >> a new workweek and don't stack those piles of money out on the roof today because they'd blow away. pleasant, though. live doppler 7 hd, sunny across the bay area. here is a beautiful view looking over san francisco. it's currently 69 degrees in san francisco. oakland and mountain view 74, 77 in san jose.

before the quake to retrofit this building. >> it feels amazing. it feels really good. i love doing this every day. >> reporter: if you look carefully enough, you'll spot two minor blemishes inside. chances are you could miss both in the time it takes to grasp a morning couple of joe. >> the bad thing is looking outside and seeing the damage still is what it is. >> reporter: a work very much still in progress, says napa county spokesperson. >> when i walk down the street, i get my coffee at molinari cafe, i see a community still healing, an on going recovery process. but i also see a lot of hope for the future. >> reporter: especially when napa's future includes students like nick dill on. >> i think definitely the earthquake has brought the community closer and we are growing stronger because of it. >> reporter: he turns 15 next month. nick tells me when the earthquake hits he was having a sleepover with a friend and that's why he was in his living room when the earthquake happened near the chimney. he says after he began sharing

his story, people donated money to his family and they were finally able to clean up that chimney and the mess in their home and they're still living there today. reporting in napa, abc 7 news. >> thank you for that report. our reporting here will continue all afternoon and into the evening. coming up at 5:00, abc 7 news reporter wayne freedman is here with me in napa to take a look at how the business community has struggled so mightily to get back on its feet after this 6.0 earthquake. all of that and a lot more coming up at 5:00 as we see you then. for now, ama, larry, back to you. >> it's so great to see nick dillon looking great. i mean, he's fantastic, fully recovered or close to it. it's so good to see a year of progress. as dan mentioned, we'll be broadcasting live from napa all day marking the anniversary of the quake. dan will be back at 5:00 and 6:00 to show us more on how things have changed. we've uploaded snapshots to
