I've been thinking that I should change that to a little riskier to capitalize on the gains but thought that might be stupid because I would be buying high. (If you can't tell by now, I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to this stuff)

So, should I wait for it to come down before making a move or do it now and get in on whatever gains are to be made in 2017?


Trading within one's 401(k) is like a bar of soap . . . the more you handle it the smaller it gets! wink
