Make adjustments soon take in the profits. We 401k is more or less dollar cost averaging but you have investments in stocks and they have given you returns dump it to build your cash reserve and reinvest when the market calibrates. Yea don't be emotional. Cheers
That's my goal 👌🏾

Id stay in for the long haul. With Brexit and all of the euro countries seriously considering secession you will probably want US based companies tho. With Trumps fuck everone else attitude we are going to do just fine economically.

The guy on the radio said this is not the year to dump your stocks.
So, I contacted my buddy the Prince over in Nigeria to see what he says and will report back as soon as he responds.

If Trump gets into a trade war with basically the entire world and decides to not pay full value for Treasury notes your 401K might take a huge hit

When Obama took office everything in the market was cheap. There was great value. Now after 8 years and a doubling of the market way too stocks are way over valued. The markers are at the same point as the last big correction. If the Fed raises the rates the correction will come sooner than later.

That money is pouring back into the market now. Invest aggressively. I just retired and have all of my money in aggressive funds. A little risky for my age, but I am averaging tens of thousands every week. If I'm caught with my pants down, I'm not going to touch those funds until I'm forced to anyway. Then I will just reinvest it. I'll take the risk. Yeah, there will be a modest correction or two. But bet your ass we see an amazing Bull Market for at least a year.
With regard to interest rates, they are already factored in unless the Fed pulls a coup.
