Quote:Questions .... assuming most of you are middle aged.

 

Are you getting more aggressive with your 401k investment (e.g. diversifying) ?   The reason I ask is because I went into protective mode when the Dow hit 18,500 because we're comfortable to date but in a way I feel like I'm not taking full advantage of the bull market.

 

Are you thinking of investing in anything this year (e.g. Oil Stocks or other stocks, Housing, etc.) ?

 

Here's my advice.   Diversify.   Don't let any one sector hurt you.  Stocks, bank CDs, real estate, and cash.  

 

Don't try to outsmart the markets.   The big money that moves markets is already way ahead of you.   You can't win my buying and selling.   You can only win in the long run by buying and holding.  Never sell anything.  

 

Don't buy when stocks are up.   Don't buy in a bull market.   Buy in a bear market.   Buy and hold.
