Monday, Grywacheski joined us on Good Morning Quad Cities. He says he doesn't know long this bear market will last, whether it's weeks, months, or years.

"Each and every time [there was a bear market], the market rebounded and went onto set new all time highs," he said.

Because of that, he says investors should still keep their stocks in the market and not overreact to the drops.
