It’s time to make some radical changes to my positions to recover from the market’s volatility.

Economic worries weigh heavily on the market, with PepsiCo and Microsoft hit hard. But financial stocks are solidly higher after the Treasury announces a $250 billion plan to buy into banks. Johnson & Johnson boosts its forecast. Investors cheer Intel earnings.

Pressured by recession and surging prices, the warehouse chain tries new tricks to satisfy customers, including special deals with Starbucks, Hershey and Versace.

As painful as this market has been, your retirement plan remains the best place for your money. With these 6 steps, you can eventually come out ahead.
