6. If the stock market were to experience a prolonged down market, declining 50% over 1-2 years, what would you feel inclined to do?
*
Sell all the stocks in my portfolio. I am afraid that the stock market will continue its downturn and would be uncomfortable with a further decline in value.
Sell half of the stocks in my portfolio. I think that the market may rebound, but I am not willing to leave all of my investments exposed to further declines.
Hold the stocks in my portfolio as I understand my investment may be subject to additional short- term price declines and I am comfortable weathering the storm.
I would buy more stocks to take advantage of their low prices. I am comfortable with short-term market fluctuations and assume that the stock will regain and exceed their prior values eventually.

*
I am already retired.
I would like to fully retire at normal retirement age (60-70).
I plan to partially retire and continue working, because I like my work.
I plan to partially retire and continue working, because I don’t think social security and my portfolio will be sufficient to support my lifestyle.
I plan to continue working into my 70s, because I don’t think social security and my portfolio will be sufficient to support my lifestyle.
I plan to continue working into my 70s, because I like my work, but I am confident I could stop working if I wanted to.
It’s too far away to reasonably say.
