Unless you have been living under a rock, you probably heard that the UK has decided not to be part of the European Union. Big, huge surprise to the market as all major markets had priced UK to remain in the bloc.
So, what now? Markets are tumbling with no bottom in sight. European markets look to be opening at a massive -10% decline and the US will open later and should drop at least 3-4%. Should you sell everything and keep your pants?
No! I believe that if you did not sell before the Brexit happened, chances are you have already missed the boat and you are behind the curve! The downside is already here and you must be able to stomach a slight further decrease. Since the major surprise had already happened, another major huge drop is unlikely to happen. Remember, markets react most to something totally unexpected. But after the fact, i.e. when it has already happened, selling is not necessarily the best idea.
So, hold on to your stocks. Just make sure 2 things: 1) Do not use margin financing as you do not know how far the bottom is and 2) Do not buy stocks with direct and obvious negativer repurcussions from the Brexit, i.e. major customers in Europe or UK. Other than that, despite lower valuation expectations for stocks, you should be fine.
In fact, when everyone is panicking and selling, you should be the BUYER! The best investors have always been contrarian investors who buy when everyone sells and sells when everyone buys. Don't worry. This is not the end of the world. Go take a nap, enjoy the weekend.

in any market conditions, there're always some stocks or sectors to be avoided or to be invested.

Now that the new has been announced, market has dipped, i find that the hype over what brexit will cause has died down too. Stock market seems to be back to how it was before brexit.
