20% stock market plunge

Would you change your asset allocation or wait it out? Assuming you're ER/FI, would you go back to work PT/FT. Would you freak out and sell at the bottom and buy all MM and CD's. My take is , if I'd set my SWR based on FIREcalc with a 90-95% confidence level I wouldn't change anything. What are the other posters thoughts.
