I wanted to make a fund transfer to the S & P Index fund from a cash fund within my 401K plan. I do not understand moving averages. Do I "buy in now?" I saw that the index was 1420 a month ago. Thanks.

Honestly, I think your best move would be to go checkout "A Random Walk Down Wall St" which talks about timing the market.

I'm not a big timing/technical guy, but I'm not confident at putting new money to work just yet...

But I'll give you a little technical info:

The S&P is below its 200 day moving average at 1284, but not by much. That is technically a bearish signal. If you wanted to put money to work on a technical basis, wait till we get a close above the 200 day moving average. Markets are beginning to get into oversold terrioritory, so I think any bounce we get is a technical based bounce and not on fundamentals.
