>> reporter: not good, keith. certainly with those numbers you just said, they are not very good numbers. a lot of people really don't get what's happening here. basically, problems in china have led investors to sort of pull back the reins which means all our 401(k)s and retirements, a lot of them have taken a real hit. i asked experts today flat out, i said what do normal folks like me do right now. >> ill not going to do anything. >> reporter: that's one guy's plan to ride out the stock market craziness. others agreed this isn't some financial apocalypse. >> you're not sweating it out, buying canned goods and worrying about your retirement? >> no. not at all. >> reporter: many experts say it's really just a correction prompted by china's economic shakiness. but they say historically speaking it was due to happen. >> we did get a couple calls this morning but we try to remind our clients that short term noise does not equate to long term gains or losses. >> reporter: michael deals with a lot of clients whose financial futures are tied to the markets. what is he telling them and us? stay the course. >> it's human nature to be

scared and human nature to worry, but again, if you have an investment process that you have used stick with it. >> reporter: this means don't go selling everything off or making rash emotional decisions. the two biggest enemies of investing are fear and greed. either can get you in trouble. that being said, we folks who regularly put our paycheck into our retirement, this so-called black monday is a little like black friday. our contribution buys more shares right now. i asked a wilmington university professor to explain it in terms we joe six-packs can understand. >> if joe six-pack is an eagles fan like i am and used to buying your tickets for $105 and now they are $50 i would buy twice the number of tickets. all we have now is the opportunity to buy things on sale. >> reporter: a lot of companies in wilmington and around the world taking a hit in the last couple days. what if you are close to retirement? that's trickier. experts say retirement doesn't

mean you have to cash out all at once. maybe just keep some of your money in the market, let it ride, let the money work for you and over time, any of the money you lost in the last couple days, historically speaking, seems like it will eventually come back. you will recoup that money. tim furlong, nbc 10 news. let's turn to the local impact now of wall street turmoil. here's a look at some area stocks. dupont closed down $2 a share at $50. nbc 10's parent company comcast lost more than $2 a share, finishing at $54. camden-based campbell soup dropped at $1.67 to close at $47 a share. lester holt breaks down what this means for you and what you can expect tomorrow at 6:30 on "nbc nightly news." breaking news now on

the attorney general. here is what her attorney had to say a little while ago. >> the entire story hasn't come out yet. i think a little more of the story evolved today. a little too slow for my taste. but we are looking forward to a trial. >> reporter: now, what is the whole story. we know from the attorney general's press conference that she held in harrisburg that she blames political foes saying that because she has e-mails on state servers that this is to blame as to why she has been charged with lying to a grand jury. i asked the assistant district attorney, the first assistant district attorney about that as the hearing ended. he said this is not a case about e-mail. this is a case about what kathleen kane has allegedly done. take a look at some video of her entering the courthouse a little while ago. this was as the attorney general arrived here. she and her twin sister walked into the courthouse. her sister walked in first wearing a blue jacket. that threw off some of the media. kathleen kane was right behind her in the red dress. some are speculating it was to

where danny developed. this is citizens bank park. phillies are back home this week and pretty decent weather tonight. great weather for the rest of the week. that is for sure. great baseball weather. 87 degrees, winds out of the south. feels like 89. the high today was 89 degrees. 87 now, we are in the 80s across most the rest of the area. lancaster is down to 79 because the showers are in the area. it's cooled off at the shore as well, with a sea breeze that has come in during the afternoon. there it is, 80 degrees in sea isle city. 79, atlantic city marina. 81 in beach haven. the ocean is up to 78 degrees, about as warm as it's been all summer. you can see this line of clouds and some showers very clearly behind that line, the drier air is coming in. once it comes in, it will stay in for awhile. here come the clouds. the showers, not making a lot of progress and not really strengthening any. we have a couple coming in to

berks county, not quite to reading yet. but within the next hour, the other showers in lancaster will take another hour or two, even, to make it into chester county. to the west of that, we've got a couple thousand miles of dry air that's going to be moving in. so future cast hour by hour, you can see most of the activity, well, most of us not getting rained on during the night tonight. in new jersey or delaware, you are likely to get it well after midnight or maybe even first thing in the morning when you get up. toward the shore. but then it's drying from philadelphia north and west. the humidity is going down, it will be a beautiful afternoon and the start of something really nice. now, danny is back over my shoulder. this is the new development and we may be hearing more about this coming up as early as this evening. sheena will have the update on that at 11:00 tonight when it will probably be either a depression or already tropical storm erica. chance of showers through the

night tonight. most of us not getting wet. 70 degrees for the low. then during the day tomorrow, any early clouds or showers at the shore then becoming mostly sunny, less humid than today. relatively warm day, but you will notice that drop in humidity. then it will stay comfortable the rest of the week. actually getting more and more comfortable, little cooler at night each night. we don't really heat up until the weekend, but it looks dry all the way through that period. i'm john clark. sam bradford and chip kelly react to the nfl saying that suggs' hit on bradford saturday night was legal.

i'm john clark from comcast sports net. chip kelly and the nfl disagree on whether sam bradford should have been hit saturday night by terrell suggs in preseason action. it's something the nfl needs to clarify. >> you want to run the read option with your starting quarterback, that's on you. >> reporter: ravens linebacker terrell suggs went after sam bradford on this play because he thought it was a zone read play. today, the nfl's head of officiating, dean blandino, says quarterbacks can be hit on those plays. >> basically because the quarterback has an option, he's considered a runner until he either clearly doesn't have the football or he reestablishes himself as a passer. it's not a foul by rule. >> reporter: but chip kelly says today it was not a zone read play and has only called zone read plays in the preseason for tim tebow. >> we know the rules. if our quarterback hands the ball off and isn't going

anywhere, you shouldn't be able to hit him. the way the rule's been explained to us. if they want to get into that, they can get into that. then every other quarterback in the league when they get back in the shotgun can be hit. >> reporter: chip may not have called a zone read play there but it could look like that to defenses. here's sam bradford's reaction to that. >> i have no problem being hit. if you want to come hit me, hit me in the chest. i think when guys are diving directly at your knees, i think that's a little bit different. just because you're running a play out of the shotgun doesn't mean that it's a zone read. i think the league is probably just going to have to clarify exactly what a zone read is. >> reporter: this is an issue because ozone read plays, defenders can go after bradford's knees and one eagle said he would have probably done what terrell suggs did. >> if somebody's running a zone read i want to scare them out of it i'm going to hit the quarterback. >> reporter: interesting. eagles visiting the packers saturday night. see that game here on nbc 10 at 8:00. pregame coverage at 7:30.
