The final chapter of the 2008 NFL combine was written Tuesday afternoon when the last group of defensive backs walked off the turf at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis.

I only just started contributing 5 percent of my income to my 401(k) this year. Since I have more than 40 years until I retire, I was advised that my investments should be moderate to high risk. So I put 80 percent of my contributions in high-risk stocks and the other 20 percent in international stocks -- in the second quarter I had a 19 percent loss. For now, I've decided to let it ride, but I can't help worrying whether my account balance is withering away to nothing. What should I do?
