I can't give specific advice here, but a couple things to bear in mind. First of all, the markets are volatile today, but we're talking about a 2% drop today at this point, despite the news articles that will surely sensationalize this.
The other and more important consideration is that if you are investing for the long term these shorter term issues are largely meaningless. I mean sure, if you bought at 7:31am this morning you got a better deal than what you got say right now, but 20-30 years down the road its not a huge deal. The idea of timing some events like this with long term investments is ridiculous. Be patient. If you don't want to see volatility then you have a couple options: don't invest in things with the potential to be volatile, or don't look.
