I'm staying the market in because:
A ) It's too late to sell, and
B ) I have a long time horizon for portfolio survival - 50 years, and
C ) I already had enough in fixed income/cash to cover at least 10 years so I can afford to wait this out.

(Long-term) self interest here. Not really patriotism, although I do take pride in owning a piece of great American businesses and entrepreneurship, and I do choose to be a US citizen.

It's been tough witnessing this crash and seeing my retirement fund decimated, but I don't really know how to do anything other than "stay the course".
