POLAND, Ohio - China, oil and the dollar are all factors in this week's bungee jump performance on Wall Street.

The main question people are asking their financial planner is, "Am I going to be okay?".

Todd Bury, President of Bury Financial Group in Poland, is telling nervous investors to take a deep breath.

"This has happened before. It's not the first time it's happened, and it won't be the last time it happens. Market pullbacks are actually very normal," Bury said.

What has been shaking up the market in the new year is the slowing growth in China and oil prices. Some advisers say nervous investors can look at other options. 

"If you still want to be in the market, get into an exchange traded fund (EFT) with stop losses, so if the market drops you're out," said Roger Faubel, a certified financial planner with Dow Financial Services.

One thing advisers warn against is getting too emotional.

"If you become too emotional and make the wrong decision at the wrong time you're going to lose," Bury cautioned. 

Economists say in the long run only one thing truly matters, and that is corporate earnings. January is considered a barometer for the future, predicting with 87 percent accuracy what the market will do for the rest of the year

"Earnings season really starts this week and next week. We think that will be a catalyst for the market for a turn around. If earnings are strong then the market will react," said Bury.
