I wish you had whispered advice in my ear back then. We’re way down but I’m counting on it going lower since we just transferred them today.

It wasn't a move made on some sound advice. It was due to my wife and I losing sleep. The good news is that this taxable money was only invested back in July, so our loss was less than 4% at the time we switched our.

I adjusted our 401(k)s back in April, taking a 70/30 (stock/bond) combined portfolio to 100% bonds (Dow was hovering at 13000). I can't imagine how much we saved on our 401(k) investments, even with the hit the bond funds are taking these days.

Me too — just moved funds today — at least we did not totally close out our accounts!
