Couple of good market days - would like to sell and reallocate a bit
So, my megacorp 401K is a bit overloaded with equities - in particular, Emerging Markets, US Large Cap and US Small Cap.
I was considering rebalancing to a Treasuries fund this afternoon ...
Would appreciate comments!!

I was considering rebalancing to a Treasuries fund this afternoon ...which of the three categories would be best to reduce given they are all over my AA about the same amount.
Would appreciate comments!!

PS - this is dupe from individual stock picking, but wanted to get some inputs.

I'd return them all to the target allocation. But I'd wait for the allocations to cross a threshold, or for the normal rebalance date. You don't usually want to rebalance too soon, though if there are no costs involved it's probably not a big deal.

Since there are no tax consequences in a 401(k), why not reduce them all?
I guess that since you did not mentioned large-cap developed foreign markets that you have that in another account? Otherwise, that's the one that I would be rebalancing into. See the LOL!'s market timing thread.

Hi Animorph,
I haven't been as analytical about AA as I should be ...I'll get better!
Decided to pull some from US Large Cap and Emerging Markets and put in the Treasuries fund.
Getting to about 5 years out from calling it quits so I need to get a lot more thoughtful about this :-)

I think that would be a good idea. Changing your AA isn't something you should do according to your gut.
Write an IPS. Create rules for when to rebalance.
