The I watch my 401k and investments thread

Da Klugs · 06-15-2011, 03:48 PM

More of a support group effort here.

Such anguish and paid over the past month. Arrrgh!

icehog3 · 06-15-2011, 03:52 PM

I had a 401K before I got divorced.

but I worked out a child support pre-payment plan with "my" half. Everybody won.

As far as investments go, if you buy low and sell high, you usually come out ahead.

I'm sure I am not alone in thinking that this girl is looking at the future value of her retirement investments.

Will you be my investment manager, Vinny?

Ashcan Bill · 06-15-2011, 09:49 PM

I rolled my 401k into an IRA when I retired. I went very conservative after years of being really aggressive. I find I'm sleeping a lot better now.

For you, sure Dan

I'm with you Dave, even though this is a long-term investment for me, I still cringe when I see my 401 take a hit.

Zeuceone · 06-15-2011, 04:06 PM

I haven't opened one of the invoices for over a year now. Not even going to bother.

MurphysLaw · 06-15-2011, 04:08 PM

I have some fun with my 401, I have some money set aside that gets invested in IPOs, those are usually fun to watch.

kayak_rat · 06-15-2011, 04:33 PM

Being young, mine is pretty aggressive. That and big blue does a pretty good job contributing. Overall its good, just takes some serious nose dives every now and again. I have an IRA setup as well that I have a bit more control over. South Africas and Malaysia are a booming area to invest.

Here's a picture of mine:

NCRadioMan · 06-15-2011, 06:23 PM

I lost almost everything I had in mine a few years ago. I decided to pull the rest out, at that time, and pay medical bills. Glad I did and so are the Dr's.

hammondc · 06-15-2011, 06:52 PM

Yep...I am too young (33) to be very concerned. I look about twice a year.

N2 GOLD · 06-15-2011, 06:52 PM

I dont have a 401K but i do have quite a few 601's...

Would that count???

You could probably generate a pretty steady income selling them to Mac...

You're never too young. The more you prep early on the better you are in the future
