If the US Congress bungles the upcoming debt ceiling standoff (end of Sept 2017) and the market crashes as a result - would it be a good opportunity to invest in an index fund to ride the (semi-inevitable) recovery over the long term?
I would like to get into the market (I have no current position) but am gun-shy because of all the volatility in the news.
BTW if it isn't apparent already - my knowledge in the financial sphere is seriously limited - I've been educating myself but don't want to miss this potential opportunity if it comes to pass.
Any advice? Am I oversimplifying or misreading the potential?
