I'm retiring end of March (I'll be 67) and will be rolling over the last bits of my 401K at that time (~160K) to my IRA (more growth orientated). I have lots of things in flux right now (just moved, one house in remodel), so I'm keeping 90K in CDs (I know, not growth, but emergency and also could be a market dump hedge) and I'm planning on filling out several positions that I recently have been building ABT, AMT, DLR,HD & SCHD and maybe throw the rest into JNJ. Just my plan for now, unless something changes, which it might.

What I decided re: I will be selling the vast majority of the MFs to convert to stocks (keeping $50k each in two high-performers). Lately I've found myself asking if it would make more sense to sell now and go to cash for a month. Or should I stick with the MFs until, probably, Friday February 18 when I'd put my sell orders in? This is for my 403b/soon-to-be-an-IRA. I ended up deciding to just stay the course. The market is still pointing down. But not in such a way to lead me to think it has a lot more to go, or that it won't find bottom well before February 20 or so and very possibly trade above where it is now. In the face of uncertainty I chose to do nothing. Not enough to make me believe that 30 days in cash will serve me better than 30 days continuing in these mutual funds.
