Most people around here are sturdily allegiant to historical precedent, firmly anti-market timing, and extremely unlikely to sell based on daily events. This is all well and good.
But recent news had made me consider the possibility that we may experience a major event in our lifetime that does not have historical precedent. So here's the question: is there any event that is currently within the realm of possibility that would make you cash out your stache?
I know "realm of possibility" is a little squishy, so I'll start with one example.
In the event of a nuclear attack on American territory by North Korea, would you sell (either all or some of your stache), or happily ride out the inevitable market collapse and keep buying?
To be clear, I'm not advocating for selling in this context or any other. I'd like to think that I wouldn't sell in this scenario, although my emotions may get the better of me. I'm simply curious what, if anything, would test our firmly held principles.
