My current 401k allocates all of my assets to RALSX, but I've been reading that VTSMX is a much better option. Should I switch to VTSMX or stay where I am? Very inexperienced in investing, so any thoughts or advice are greatly appreciated. Thanks fellas.

GREAT choice, move immediately.

vtsmx good

ralsx bad



frankly, RASLX is a terrible fund...for many reasons.

this being said, if the market crashes, VTSMX could fall more than RASLX. This doesn't mean RASLX is better in any way, it means that if you have a short term investment horizon, VTSMX may not be best for you, but in ANY case RASLX is terrible.

good luck

ETA: fixed RALSX link
