<prompt> Human: Im wondering what is going on? How will the market in general react if sequestration happens this Friday?Should people pull their money out of investements until this blows over?  <response>: Last week there was a guy on here asking how to get back into the market after he pulled all of his money into cash right before the fiscal cliff. He said he thought that the fiscal cliff would be a bigger deal, and he had been watching the market gains for a few weeks enviously.Dont be that guy. Invest for the long-term, diversify to expose yourself to as much of the market as possible, and dont pull your money out over news-reel items.
