No, I wouldn't.

Here's what my advisors have said:

Cover your short-term needs.
Have faith in your long-term financial plan.
Keep your head.

Here's what I've done:
1. Invested 100K in income generating real estate over the past year
2. Deferred new car purchase
3. This month, will decrease DCA into the market by 50%
4. Redirect all other ongoing savings towards cash reserve
5. Stopped obsessing about ER date

If I had a large cash reserve I would be buying.

Que sera, sera.
