Should You Sell Your Stocks if the Market Crashes?

After an incredible 18 months of growth, the stock market has been shaky over the past few weeks. September is historically a rough month for the stock market, and prices continued falling early in October -- leading some investors to believe that the market is on a downhill slide.

That said, with the market being rocky right now, should you sell your stocks just in case a crash is looming? Here's what you need to know.
