Should I rebalance my 401K portfolio to bonds/ money markets right now?

This depends on how close you are to retirement. Unfortunately, if you are close to retirement (very close) you've already lost a lot of the money in your 401k and rebalancing won't help. If your are young, no need to rebalance. Talk to an investment professional it'd be worth getting advice on your investments anyway.

only rebalance to your original percentages. Don't modify your holdings otherwise you're selling low. Especially if you modify them so you are out of the market.

Yes, if you don't have trust in the economy, but otherwise, no. Personally, i would bebalance, i did a while ago.

The time to sell stocks has passed... Now you should just hang on or buy more.

The stock market is down right now. World markets are down in general. I suggest that you follow the market and the sectors more closely, day by day. One good resource is http://www.federalreserve.ws which contains a lot of information about markets, economics, and finance.

You have to look at what you're tempted to do with clear eyes. "Rebalance" means to sell winners after an advance in order to reestablish a predetermined asset mix. But you would be selling stocks after a significant loss. That's not rebalancing, it's an attempt to time the market. You're afraid the market has farther to fall and you're hoping to cut your losses. That's generally a loser's game, since all you're really accomplishing is locking in your losses.

I suggest that you hold onto your stock portfolio. Once the market settles down a little, you can start looking to pick up more stocks at bargain prices.

No I would not change your 401 K portfolio. Remember that if the stock prices are low, the portfolio will gain more shares per dollar and in the long run you may end up with more. If you switch to bond and currency markets, the bond will only give a fixed rate and the currency markets will become more unstable as the market in general experiences a slight recession. So, you are taking a bigger risk with the currency markets.
