I think short term rates are going to rise. They are at historic low levels that are unsustainable and therefore, if they do rise tou will lose money on the principal amount of your investment in them.

I like this side of Legion, sunny side up.
aw man thanks guys!
M4L -um around Sept/Oct 2008 I had lost about 9K total. I then switched the fund around slightly and invested in more bonds than stocks, but am still youngish so I wanted to keep the stocks.
However around December I had to reduce my contributions down to 2% from 6% so not getting the company match is hurting me big time – I know – but once house is sold will be able to put more contributions in.
Etson – yes I have short terms, ok so that means bonds – are those ok to have?
A lot of japanese yakitori restaurants wrap things in bacon.

subheading ; Food and Drug Administration
monitoring of nitrogen sources
“…regarding high fat by-products of the agricultural/farming industry: nitrogen which is the predominant atmospheric component and is found in high concentrations within the pork and beef components of those industries, shall be regulated in terms of distribution and growth in order to limit it’s emission and contribution to atmospheric warming effects as it is consumed and excluded from the nitrogen trapping effects in the soil.(see study on effects of New Zealand sheep industry and flatulance).”
eat the bacon while you can.
hey G10. i was going to write something about 401k too, but looks like my speedy peers got to it first. it all depends on the risk profile of your portfolio. i just checked my 401k for the first time in about 4 months and was happy to see it’s back to where it was a year ago (after getting socked 35% down at one point during the last 6 months, that hurt bad). that said, as long as it’s up, that’s good, right? 🙂
