What do you mean by “surrender?” Did you turn it into cash?

It means he took the penalty and closed out his 401k and will take the tax implications this year, probably will turn out to be a smart move, yet, if we all do it it’s game over.

I moved our Vanguard stock and bond funds into money market funds almost three weeks ago. Leading up to today, the decision saved us about $52K on out taxable investments. With today’s drop, I expect the “savings” to exceed $60K. Ouch!

Just remember where you got out so you can get back in on the way up. Selling low and buying high is no way to go through life, son.

When the blood is in the streets and they start jumping out of windows, that's the time to start buying. :)
8000 maybe? Could it get even lower than that?? It's starting to become scary.

Every day I was expecting it to turn.

I scoured the Journal and other news sources and freerepulic for some sign it would turn - nothing.

Must be a Vanguard Opus vanity.
I’m soooo glad that over the past 20 years, Hubby and I invested in Real Estate and Gold & Silver. This past year has been quite profitable.

8000 maybe? Could it get even lower than that?? It's starting to become scary. Down 40% from the peak in just over a year ...
Lovely I tell ya, just f'n lovely.

Well, it’s not to turn today. It’s not going to turn maybe for months. But it’s going to turn.
