keep investing the same amounts ("stay the course" in that regard).

 It sounds like you put 70% into stocks and 30% into bonds.  How did
you come to this conclusion?  If the assumptions made at the time you
decided 70-30 was a good mix are still the same, stay the course
percentage wise too.  If the assumptions changed (you can tolerate more
risk) then go up to 80 or 90 percent stock.  If the assumptions changed
(and you can tolerate LESS risk), then I would suggest reducing
equities some and bonds some (maybe 60-20) and put the other 20% into
money markets (cash), real estate, materials, or another investment
category.
