I hit a couple of financial goals for my retirement accounts on Halloween. Hopefully, it's not a "trick or treat" kind of thing, although the Nov. 1 market suggests it may be a "trick." I've been able to hit these goals partly through contributions and partly through aggressive investing--averaging 17% annual rate of return for last 5 years. Now I'm looking toward 2008, amidst commentators (and historical trends) suggesting the end of the bull market. I am looking toward redistributing my funds from risky stocks (e.g., emerging markets) to more conservative funds, at least for a few years. Any suggestions on what types of funds might make a positive return in the next few years while cutting down on risk? My retirement accounts are primarily in American Funds and Oppenheimer (company-sponsored plans).
Thanks for any and all advice!
