would you sell off investments to pay off debt?

[TLu333]

I have been investing for a few years and have a good little bit in mutuals and sundry investments. Have been thinking about selling off some of the investments to pay off some credit card and new car debt, but I'm making more money in the market than I would save by paying off debt. Seems like a no brainer to keep investing, looking for others opinions.

What's the question? At this point, you need professional help, e.g., CPA, to specifically verify your homework...

I would pay off the debt. A bird in the hand as it were. I am a firm believer in the no debt except mortgage debt position. If the market tanks having no debt would be a good thing.

Agree with aiki14. Think about what's more important.
