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.

MurphysLaw · 06-15-2011, 03:53 PM

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.

No, I have my regular pension and a 000K, Dave.

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.

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.

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...

This thread is depressing!

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

Not depressing.....just an eye opener

When ever the market takes I dive, I just pretend like my current 401K purchase shares are on sale. It eases the pain of the drop in total value.

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.
