Quality not Quantity- Large Cap Value ETFs

With so much information coming for everywhere, whom do you trust? Sheesh! Do you buy, sell or hold? What do you buy, sell or hold? Do you run for cover every time the market retreats 100 to 200 points, or do you just throw in the towel and go to high quality bonds. Well, you could lose lot of money in bonds also.
