You and your family may need that blood money if this is the start of a world recession. The US dollar potentially plunging as a world currency and foreign investors pulling assets out of US markets may send the US consumer into a tailspin. Say buh bye to the housing market and US enters a full-blown recession. Consumer confidence will not be undermined in 1 day or even 1 week, but over the course of the next few months or longer. The world's #1 and #2 economies entering full blow recessions...

You need to do whatever you can to protect yourself for the future. Don't feel guilty about it.

Now conversely this may present a good buying op if there's a washout and the LT consequences don't come to bear, but given the valuation of the markets it would not surprise me to see the Dow and the S&P 500 down 20-40% each over the next year. I think the Nasdaq might fare slightly better on a relative basis since it's down so much already, but not sure.

Like everyone I'll be re-evaluating hourly so this is purely half-baked opinion at this time.
