Wouldn’t you want to buy during the decline in a 401k (assuming you have 5+ years to see the market correct itself)? Sounds like a great time to buy low to me!
I don’t try to time the Market and suggest you don’t either
you're thinking about this wrong. max your 401k to save on taxes and gain the free money from the employer match. if you lower your contributions you're just giving more $ to Uncle Sam.
I feel it’s exhausting to time the market, I prefer to keep investing no matter what and just keep it simple
My strategy is to max the 401(k) ASAP. Then I take the “raise” and put it in the brokerage. Either way, you have the market at that time. No need to overcomplicate by trying to time things.
Or you could just put money in the 401k over the year and in the brokerage account over the year. Either way you should be in the same place
Max the 401K asap and get your tax win. You can still typically choose when the actual investment happens since you can shoose to hold the investment in cash or short term treasuries or whatever. So time the market if you want although statistically its a losing strategy.
