Emily Dew | Do you think the stock market is headed for a crash? |
If so, what can the average person do? We have a 401K, a couple of Roths, some little stocks and a small money market. The 401K is what I'm most concerned about. It's invested through Fidelity, but I think we are limited in our choices of how it's invested. Also, should we just leave the rest of the stuff alone or sell it and start stuffing money under our mattresses? Thanks!
Additional Details
We've got about 20 years until retirement age. |

crash no.
adjustment yes.
there are lots of 'chicken littles' screaming about problems in the economy.
well we are way better than in the 70's 80's even 90's
hey we even survived '2000' destruction of computer systems that were going to put us in the bronze age again.
no the sky is not falling, we are having politicians (many blood sucking animals) elections. |

Here are some of the answers that i got |

Never forget that the ideal scenario for your 401K is a market crash and rock bottom stock prices for years to come at which you accumulate more shares in your 401K at these low prices. You want the lowest possible stock prices while you are in the stage of accumulating more shares. Then you want an irrationally exuberant bull market to take your stock values to ridiculous highs just before you need to cash out and start living off of your 401K. So, in most cases, just leave the money where it is at, ignore stock prices, and feel smug in the fact that regardless of your 401K account value, you are accumulating more shares. |

If you are no where near retirement age you have to just relax and let the dice roll. don't go jumping off the bridge just yet! Right now is a buying oppertunity. Stocks are on sale! Since 1929, the year of the big crash we have experienced so many terrible times and the market keeps on going up. There were many bumps in the road along the way. for instance WWII, Korean War, Vietnam, Gulf WarI , Iraq, 911, and so on. This sub prime mess will blow over by the end of this year, you have to believe in the market or get out completely. good luck to ya! |

Don't panic.
Coca-Cola is not going bankrupt any time soon.
If your money is in a 401K or a Roth, then a "buy and hold" strategy still works.
Here's the deal: If you are trying to beat a "buy and hold" strategy, you need to time the market correctly TWICE, once when you get out, and again when you get back in.
If you are only right one out of two, you will have either gotten out too late after eating the loss (which is what everyone who's panicing and trying to get out now, instead of at DOW 14,000), or you will have gotten back in too late (after you missed out on the early part of the new rally.) |

It depends on how old you are. If you are going to be retiring in a year or two, than you might want to put all of your 401k into one of the lower risk funds. If you still have 5 or more years left before you retire, then you should probably just sit tight. The market might drop more than it has, but it will come back up, and in that case, you will be kicking yourselves for taking the money out. |

How much money would you have right now if you had bought an energy stock at 4.52 and sold it at 7.21 ?
How was it possible for another gold stock to gain more than 65% before the market open?
What do you think about shorting a biotech stock with negative momentum at $10.29 and buying it back at 6.38 ?
As You know a stock can be played in 2 directions.
It does'nt matter if the market is UP or down. You can profit when a stock goes up and You can also make great profits when it rallies all the way down.
Fortunately some sites on the web can show you how to take advantage of stocks in a practical way every week by minimizing risks. One of those sites is Momentum Stock Pick at http://www.MomentumStockPick.com |

As far as your 401k is concerned, if you have allocated it according to your risk tolerance, your age, time horizon, other assets and income available at retirement etc, it doesnt matter if the market crashes or not. A 401k is a long term investment. You dont invest for the long term with a short term view. If you're young more of your 401k should be in stocks and as you get older more should be in bonds and fixed income investments. Never completely in one or the other, The rule of thumb is to subtract your age from between 120 and 100 and put that in stocks. Depending on your risk tolerance and considering people are living longer and working longer. |

I do not know if it will crash. I tend to think it will not.
I love it when the market dips, just not to much......LOL
I have a DRIP Plan where I reinvest my dividends and dollar cost average. I purchase Blue Chip stocks and I love when they fall in value, as I will then be able to get them at a cheaper share price. I am very certain the Blue Chips I own will be around for a long time.
I have had this plan in effect for over 22 years and it has averaged about 10.4% annually.
Check into them. |

We are in the beginning of a bear market right now. This doesn't mean the stock market will crash, but it does mean you can expect the stock market to decline for the next few years.
Take your money out of your 401K and invest it in a "bear fund". This is a mutual fund that makes money in a bear market.
Don't pay attention to people who tell you to just "hold for the long term." They aren't telling you that history has many examples where that could be an extremely long time before your investments break even (if they ever do. If you have individual stocks they may never break even.)
For example, someone who had purchased stocks in 1929, waited for 25 YEARS before breaking even.
Who says that can't happen now? Nobody knows. It may. It may not. Why take the risk. |
