There is some talk about a market decline if the debt ceiling is not lifted. What will you do?

Ride it out. I got time on my side. If it goes down the funds I buy every month are cheaper so I buy more with my money.

I'm staying in - I stayed in during the pullback in '08 looking at it as a buying opportunity and the same opportunity will exist if we get a drop due to debt default.

Stay in and don't "trade the market."

Stay in but for god sakes - invest in Chinese stocks & the yuan.

If you want a good investment choice - short both the dollar & the euro right now.

This. Well I only have whatever is in my Roth IRA so there isn't much I could or would do. Maybe switch to one of the more aggressive models if the market falls significantly. I won't see any of this money for another 30 years so these dips and rises aren't much in the long run. I'm sure I'd have a much different attitude and be more concerned if I was nearing retirement age.
