retirement planning

I just finished reading the recent books from schiff and paul. And I searched the site and can't find anything regarding their suggestions on 401k's? Should we liquidate? Should we stop contributing? If the gov't tries to confiscate them I really think things are going to get ugly (bloodshed)...

I was looking at my 401K online today and to see what all I am investing in and one of them is EuroPacific Growth Fund R2. Is this the same company that Schiff owns or is it something different? Can someone tell me what the specific stock is anyway? Thanks

Looks like you can without a tax liability upfront. Many people were wondering how its done. EXAMPLE BELOW. First he would start a C corporation, a designation that allows a company to issue private shares of stock. Then he would create a profit-sharing retirement plan within his corporation...

My 401K is taking a beating. I don't have much in there, but its down 32% since january , and steadily declining. I use Fidelity so my options aren't the greatest no what I can do with it. please advise.

Hi all, I'm definitely a novice here, but if you've the time, I'd love to hear your opinion. My wife and I have a Roth IRA Retirement Fund (2050) through Vanguard. It's gone down ~ 25% in the 1.5 years that we've put money into it. Would you suggest doing nothing and waiting this out, or...

Oh my god, my 401k might tank. Screw it!!! Let my kids pay for this bailout later. ><><><><><><>< Immoral.

Is it worth it? The person is close to retirement age.

I'm curious how many people took advice from various experts such as Peter Schiff and many advocated on this website.

Hi all, I stopped contributing to my 401k about 6 months ago since I learned how bad the economy would get and so far after all the ups and downs the balance is pretty much the same. I'm debating if I should start again since my employer matches 6% I'm wondering if it's enough to offset any...

How should I ideally distribute the following investments in a portfolio that has an IRA (Rollover), 401K, Roth IRA, and traditional brokerage account - assuming a 30%, 30%, 10%, 30% distribution? Obviously, I'm most interested in the tax implications... If I have the following investments...

I can move my money in my 401k from stock funds to the american century inflation adjusted bond fund. This fund is currently in 25% cash, and 45% US Gov`t bonds, and notes. Anyone have any idea how are US bonds will perform if the banks start crashing? I do not want to pull this $$ out and incur...

I've just heard on a local radio station that it possible to receive a debit card for your 401k. This has got to be one of the worse ideas I've seen...

i am no economist but was wondering what impact there would be if the economy took this big downward trend and many lost their jobs and were forced to pull their 401k out of the market?

Go to your HR department or your 401k plan administrator today and tell them you want to make a change in your 401k allocation. Move 100% of your money out of stock mutual funds into gold and silver mining stocks, or US Treasury funds, or foreign currency funds, if that is an option. Money...

I got this idea from a different thread. I decided I could contribute what I currently give to my 401k to the Ron Paul campaign for the duration. . . I think that could be a lot more benificial then by employers half match -- especially if he could win, I wouldn't need to worry about the tax...

If a big % of your "expendable" income goes into my 401k... Let's say a big % of your income goes into taxes (duh), and into a home mortgage (15 year fixed, ~12 yrs to go). After those, not very much left to invest elsewhere. Would you guys quit contributing into a 401k and take the tax hit...
