Over the past couple of years, have gone extremely conservative. Probably missed out on some excellent gains in the stock market but just couldn't risk a sudden downturn. Have had some good luck, though. ESOP saw 15% this year. That really helped when I have/had a lot of company stock. Due to age and time with the firm, was able to move a large portion of the ESOP funds to a self-directed account. The firm's 2016 is horrendous with many layoffs. So, put what we pulled out into an account that guarantees 4.5% and has been doing even better.
We have, over the past couple of years, moved most of our funds into guaranteed accounts. If we leave them long-term... 7 to 10 years... we are guaranteed upwards of 8%. And, still working and having other investments in addition to social security, don't see needing to touch the long-term accounts.
Turned 70 yesterday. So, in the Spring will have to begin taking the minimum withdraw from a number of IRA accounts. Will fully retire approximately February 1st so don't see any issues at this time.
If I had anything in stocks, I would really worry due to the closeness of the election. Global markets are really nervous that Trump will get elected. Glad most of ours isn't dependent on markets.
