    Is an after tax 401k like a non deductible IRA? Does this affect the amount I can contribute to the pre tax and Roth 401k? I am 49, will it affect catch up contributions to 401k?

    I've already signed up for the new 401k, same funds as old one ironically, Vanguard mutual funds and I'll take a snip of the funds next time I check (I haven't even gotten paid yet, so it might take a month to kick in)

    There are months where technology lags, and I follow two guidelines 1) the sectors which make up S&P are held in portfolio 2) I try to overweight the sectors I think will move market (tech, healthcare, financials) when in doubt as to what to buy (because as you pointed out, some sectors are...
