How long have we heard that the market is “cheap” ? This verbal diarrhea has been non stop as the market continues to go down. So I decided to dive into the facts and put the actual numbers together.

Most 401k programs out there don’t allow the investor to have very much flexibility in terms of investments. This is especially true with the ability to short the market. When confronted with a bear market 401k investors are forced to flee to safety in very low returning “savings account” type funds. This should not be your only option. Opening a separate individual account online is very simple with today’s user friendly websites and opens up the world of shorting to anyone. This gives an investor the ability to at least hedge against a falling market and maybe end up making money in a down year.
