re: Should I move my 401k money to the cash option ahead of the election?

This article is a little dated, don't you think? There was definitely heavy rotation from growth to value in anticipation of a blue wave (big stimulus) in the weeks leading up to the election. But the S&P dropped like 6% since that article was published.

I'd share your concern of this week's bounce if it was 7% on top of the October 23rd levels, where it was looking like a blue wave was coming. After last week's declines, I don't think any election outcome was "baked in" any longer. The market is only up about 1% from October 23.
