Thinking about switching my 401k from a fidelity target fund to a S&P one. How does this actually work? Does it just contribute to the new fund on an ongoing basis or does it also sell the original and reinvest in the new? Are there any tax implications? TIA

No tax implications in a 401k. You can do either. You can sell what you have and buy something else or you can keep what you have and have new contributions go to something else

We have 3 options and can pick:
- future contributions only
- past and future contributions
- quarterly rebalancing across funds to our selection for last and future contributions (e.g., fund a grows 10%, fund b at 15% but are meant to be 50/50. At quarter they rebalance to that even though fund b was doing better)

Call fidelity to rebalance your entire 401k for past and future contributions. I did the same recently. They’re great to work with

Calling is pretty easy. It is very easy to do online also

On fidelity portal you have a link to rebalance, I have done it multiple times and it only takes a few minutes.

Hello Fishes,

I have 2 offers in hand currently -
1. CGI - 25LPA +1L JB
2. Neev systems - 23LPA (5%VP)

Neev systems is ready to negotiate it with CGI. And both companies have their own benefits.

Neev's hike is good compared to CGI(almost double) & CGI have some additional perks like cab facility, Creche allowance, mobile, internet bills reimbursements and additional 5% shares.

Both might have similar WLB (12-9pm).

My DOJ is tomorrow, unable to decide between them. Pls help me!!

Fishes honest opinion needed. Me and My so presently live in Arkansas, living in our first home with a child 4 year, both of us recently changed our jobs and have HHI ~ 420K, current mortgage 1600/month. We are looking to move to Dallas and thinking of buying a house ~996K with a 15% down. Questions -
1. Should we go for house of that budget? We can afford, but asking based on market.
2. Should we down 15% or just 5% ? Or go for 20% ?

I recognize this is not a very good approach for someone with money "knowledge" and I would like to change this mindset. My main weakness is that I easily get bored of following the market and that I do not see big opportunities. Any advice?

$530k HHI, $250k cash on hand, $1.2M investments/retirement. Plan to buy $800-900k house as our first home, but thinking of the best approach given rates today. My thinking is that we (i) put $200k+ down and get a 5/1 ARM. (ii) put everything we save moving forward toward paying down the principal (after maximizing retirement accounts). Should be able to do $100k per year. (iii) If rates go down below 4.5ish % for 15 year fixed, refinance and stop aggressive payment. Thoughts on this approach?
