Random 401k question

Posted by Tim, forgotten Mets fan (aka othertim) Jun 3 '12, 15:31

While looking up something else via the company's (surprisingly well done) HR portal, I looked at my 401k account. Despite having my 401k deposit/company match given equal contributions among five different funds, a third of my portfolio is now in company stock, because it's been doing very, very well in the last six months plus. I don't like that it's become that unbalanced and should something give with the stock, I'd lose a larger percentage of my account. Do I adjust the amount of my contribution that goes towards stock or do I just let it be?

Responses:

Can you re-balance your holdings but leave the contribution mix the same? That's what I used to do. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 3, 16:41

- This - BUT - I rebalance my 401k every so often so that the risk mix is in line for the diversity recommended for how far I am crom retiring. -- nm - JenBro Jun 3, 15:50 1
