Willow972 | 401K...to continue to contribute or not to? |
After just reading an article regarding current 401k situations on Yahoo, I wanted to get others opinions about what they think. As we all know, the markets go up and down all the time but currently we are all seeing losses on our statements. The market trends show that they will rebound and be stronger....is anyone else moving allocations to bonds on a more permanent basis or just until the markets rebound?
Additional Details
Thanks Don for your answer...one thing..are you moving allocations into bonds and safer $$ investments in your 401k or are you just leaving things the same and riding it out? |

OK, here's the thing. When the market is down your dollars contributred buy more shares. When the market goes up, (and it will), you now have more shares to earn money. Second, your employer is likely matching a certain percentage of your contribution. That match is absolutely free money, take it! Three, your contribution lowers your taxable income and prepares you for the future. I understand the market sucks and I don't think someone should be plugging money into a 401K if they are having trouble paying bills from week to week but, if you can spare the money, you should put in enough to at least get the entire company match. It is an easy way to save for the future because you never really see the money ande down the road you'll be so glad that you were disciplined enough to put something away. Take my word for it. |

I'm doing the reverse - moving out of fixed incomes & into equities. Bond yields are fairly low now and there's a lot of good companies on sale for cheap.
Early bull markets have historically been strong, so I want to be in position to benefit from that. I'm hedging my bets a little by buying companies that have a good history of paying dividends. If the bear market does continue for a while it's a lot easier to hold onto a stock if it's paying a good yield compared to your initial investment. |

To answer your follow up question, you should allocate across all asset classes available in your plan: US stocks, international stocks, investment-grade bonds, high-yield bonds, and commodities.
You don't want to put all your eggs in one basket. So buy everything a little at a time. You build your positions slowly over time, a little at a time and it will build up.
Finally, talk to investment counselors at your office and educate yourself. It is not a good idea to make investment decisions based on what you hear on a social networking site. |

Yes, it's best to dollar cost average into the stock market - therefore if the market goes down your get more shares. Since most companies don't provide pensions - it's up to you to manage your retirement account and come up with a plan. If you can't sleep at night - move your money into a money market account - but don't stop contributing especially if you receive a match by your company since your getting free money!
The best answer is to look at your performance of your funds redistribute if need be to reduce risk. Good luck! |

always contribute to your 401K the minimum required by your employer to get the company matching. not doing so is throwing money away.
and now is a time to buy in the stock market. buy low. now is low (yes, can get lower, but will definately be much higher in a couple years) |
