I am currently adding to my 401K in this manner (each paycheck) ..

50%* Total Bond Mkt
50%* Retirement Trust Savings.*

I still have $$'s in stuff like U.S. Growth Fund Invstor and others,* but I do not contribute to any ..* * I stopped contributing to them during the stock mkt* adjustment period (or whatever they called that in 2000 - 2004) ....* I am sticking with safer investments.* I am 48 yrs old ..* Is this a good way to do this .. I am hesitant to jump into the stock mkt again .. I am making money .. slow and steady ..* I also have about $92,000 in a savings account (getting about 1.5% interest .. ouch)* ...* *CD's seem a better way to go ..
