What will recent days do to my conservatively invested, slow growing mutual funds?

If you look at the S&P 500, you can get a general idea of what is happening to your mutual funds. Go to yahoo.com, then click on finance. The graph should be at the left hand upper corner of the screen. The point drop won't give you much of an indication, but the percentage drop will give you an idea of the decrease for the day. One year ago, the DOW was at about 13,000 points and now it is at 9,900. So, it has dropped quite a bit.
