January 29, 201412 yr On my 401K - Last years rate of return 36.8% On my Roth IRA - Last years rate of return 42.77% Obviously an unreal year that will be hard to ever duplicate.
January 29, 201412 yr I don't know much about that type of thing either, but I do know that I have two friends who are both very successful financial advisers. They are both on opposite sides of the political spectrum from each other, but both told me (separate of one another) that they are selling as much of their stocks as possible because "it's overpriced" and they seem to think the bubble is getting ready to burst. They both are buying gold instead. One of them emailed me these two links, as well. He said the web articles oversimplify things a good deal, but are still on point as far as their messages are concerned.

However, by year end, the stock market will be up and gold will be down.

January 29, 201412 yr If they are doing this as very short term moves, I understand. However, by year end, the stock market will be up and gold will be down. They both feel strongly that there's going to be a 2008/2009 all over again.

January 29, 201412 yr Do you pick the stocks in these? I picked both but the 401K obviously had limited options most of that was due to a very good year for a big healthcare company.

January 29, 201412 yr I was obviously happy with 33% especially considering my large chunk of APPL which was up just barely. No question, 33% is a phenomenal year. Heck it sounds like everyone had a great year. We can only hope to come close to that this year. I'm just trying to avoid a loss from a market correction I'm afraid is coming.
January 31, 201412 yr Author So for those of us who ONLY have 401(k), are there strategies that can be deployed to minimize a market correction?
January 31, 201412 yr So for those of us who ONLY have 401(k), are there strategies that can be deployed to minimize a market correction? Invest more in money market, bond type funds. Won't get much of a return, but won't really lose anything either.
January 31, 201412 yr My 401K made 36.5% in 2013. I also have some Dollar General stock, it returned 36.8% but is down quite a bit since Jan 1.
