My 401 k account is in the crapper----what sort of percentages of stocks vs money market vs other should I be putting future allocations in to realize the best recovery. I am 45 years old.

I have investments in TIAA / CREF. I am two years out from retirement. Are these accts. secured like a bank acct. is? Are they still a good investment?
Should I pull my 401(k) or leave it where it is?
Would this be a good time to make deals on big ticket items?
Lily
Should I be changing my percentages of stocks vs money market vs other---to insure a quicker recovery for my 401k????

How about paying extra on my mortgage ---does this still make sense???

I am in my ealry 30's and would like to increase my investments by about about $200/month. I already have a 401K, CD, and traditional savings acounts.
What vehicle should I invest this additional money: Increase my
401K, open a new CD (I haven't checked the latest rates, but don't imagine they're that great) or open a new type of account, like a Roth IRA?
Are you for or against the bailout?
How will these thieves ever learn their lesson if they keep benefiting from their crimes???
What about investing in income generating realestate---it seems like you have more control under those circumstances.

I think I pretty much understand all but one thing that I can't get any help with. What about Credit Unions? How do they play into current banking/credit issues? PLEASE HELP !!!
Don't you have a vested interest in telling people to get back on the horse and keep putting money in the market?

Why is the dollar actually stronger now.??

I add $300 a paycheck to a 403b account. This is a new account, only about a year old and has lost about 20% of its value. Should I suspend my contributions, shift them to a guaranteed savings or continue contributing my $300 a paycheck? I am 41 and do have a NYSTR.

I am 55 my husband is 58. I have a small 401(k) at work, my husband has our main one at his work. I am depositing 10% now, he is only depositing 8%. We were going to increase it but now I feel we should decrease and save another way. What's your advice? Also, I have over 200K in one money market acct, should I split it into another bank? I am worried about the FDIC only insuring up to 100K.
I have a deferred compensation account with NYS which is not FDIC insured. I retired last year at age 52. Should I consider rolling over my money to a IRA CD with a bank so it would be insured?
I have had $5000 in a savings account for 6 years The Interest on it has been falling every month and is now only .10%. I do not want a long term investment as I want my son to be able to access it if I pass away. I am 68 years old.????
I have a 403b,I am no longer employed with the same co.[state employment]I lost a lot of money.should I put it some where else or leave it,it is well diverified.
I would like to invest in some stocks while the prices are low. What would be the stocks to buy, and how do I go about doing this?
