Will stocks crash?


Should I change my 401-K from 85% stocks to 100% bonds. Untill market stabilizes. I have acct in fidelty and can move investments online I think.
Also I have 21,000 dollars in acct and up 9.5% year to date

Not unless you are retiring tomorrow. #1, you wouldn't want to sell out of stocks right now anyway - you'd be locking in a loss. Investing isn't complicated - buy low, sell high. THe lemmings that go into mass sell-offs at the first hint of bad news only hurt themselves.

As for 401k balances - 85% stock funs (I'm assuming you are in funds, not individual stocks) is a VERY aggressive spread but if you are young, that's ok.

If you are in individual stocks - move into funds.

The stock market will not collapse. It will receover. Stay in for the long haul.

Yes they will crash. They always do.

It seems like you're not even beating the stock market average with your pick of stocks. If you go to bonds, the returns will drop.

What makes you think the stock market will crash? If you're so certain, short some stocks and make a fortune.

Remember: buy low, sell high. When everyone else is buying, start selling. When everyone else is selling, start buying.

Good luck!

Stop being a wimp. If you look through history dating back to the great depression, the return on stocks is higher on a yearly average than any other investment. Stop looking at your account every day and ride the wave. Upswings are always larger than downturns.
