What advice do the board gurus give in regards to any potential 401k adjustments tomorrow.

Too late now to do anything.

By the time your 401K modifications settle in a few days, it'll be a memory.

Just keep contributing and ride the coaster.

Also no way to comment on your company stock without knowing company or sector.

It could be anything from Big 7 to an uncapitalized failing startup.....

Definitely diversify, you’ve got too many beers in the same cooler.

I’m retired and almost totally in fixed income/bonds and it appears that rates wiii be coming down as we head toward a possible recession, so I’m looking to buy a few more corporate/muni/treasury bonds before rates come down.

If you’re below 40-45, stay in the market 80/20 or so but split that shite up into 15-25 different stock equities.

Don't look at it.

Keep contributing at least 10%.

You are a low information investor just like everyone else posting in this thread (certainly including me). You should not be playing games with your money; it will only lead to underperforming the market.

As someone else already posted, this event is already in the rearview mirror as far as you are concerned. When you get time you should move all of your money into a fund that is designed to safely track the market. This will be a mutual fund, indexed fund or ETF. You should look for something with very low management fees, because the people who manage it are generally low information guys as well.

Once you have followed the advice above you should should forget your investments until you are about 55. At that time you can start shifting them to safer stuff with lower returns.

Here is my scenario. Roughly 200k in my 401. Had half in my companiy’s stock and the other half in a semi aggressive mutual fund. Not long ago my company announce that it was going to do a 4 to stock split in September. I moved all my current and future investments into my company stock 100% to take advantage of the future split. Should I just let it ride. Should I move some or all to bonds? What do the experts say?

If you have a money market in your retirement it might not be a bad idea to deploy that capital at a lower price point. I do, and I will, along with proceeds from portfolio downside insurance (VIX calls).

Can I time the bottom? No. Will my newly deployed funds be in at a lower price point than last week? Yes.

I always have a cash position and always insure my portfolio to the downside so I can buy at lower price points.

If you don't have cash available, my instinct would be to do nothing. Just watch.

Japan, ME and the election are significant events worth watching. If equities and crypto decline no more than they are now, I'm not sure it's time to get excited. Getting excited and making strategic moves being different to me.

A lot of this depends on one's age and personal situation. I suspect those that are leveraged and younger will actually like this depending on what the Fed does. It's reported that they are considering meeting. I think that was obvious after Japan yesterday, notwithstanding the comments on here yesterday evening / night calling that nonsense.

Most of the time opening isn't really a good time to rebalance. This said if you're a buyer, today's opening might be decent. I take that out of play and let VIX tell me when price points are lower, maybe not the lowest, but lower in a long term view.

There is almost always opportunity depending on one's situation.

I’m 57 and want to retire at 62. I’ll be calling fidelity to ask what to do to keep what I have safe. I’m too old and close to retirement to ride it out.

My novice view is it has been too late to do anything for about 2 weeks. Yes, today is going to be messy as hell, but Friday was no picnic. The biggest mistake in my life financially was moving money out of the market during the covid dip.....cost me a bunch.
