Have 401k investments moved out of stocks since the recession starting in 2000?


I trying to determine if the average person has reduced their percentage of growth-oriented investments since 2000? If so, by how much?

No, 401k managers have definitely not moved out of the stock markets since 2000. Wake up, there has been a bull market for 4 years now. ***Average people moved out of growth stock after the bubble burst*** and the savvy investor will make a killing off their mistakes... US large cap growth is still at a deep discount, and the big guys are already accumulating.

There are no stats like that, and my point is yes they did, I would guess if they were managing it on their own, the majority moved the majority of their money out of growth. The point is they shouldn't have... why run for the door when stuff goes on sale?? only industry in the world where that happens.

401k invests in stocks and bonds, thats about it. Bonds have not been very attractive in the rising interest rate environment (HYs in 2001-2002 did well) So if you are in a 401k, you are probably still in the stock market, maybe just not agressive growth/tech stock.

Please read the question. I am well aware of the end of the bear market, recent Dow highs, etc. I want to know if the average person who does not have an investment manager has reduced their percentages of stock holdings versus other assets since Jan 2000. I assume that 401k data would be easily available for percentages of assets by year, so that's why I posed the question that way.

Edit: in case you are wondering about the different Profile Name. I was using my wife's account when commenting.
