The stock market is breaking records. Time for a gut check
October 28, 2025
Almost everything in your 401(k) should be coming up a winner now. That makes it time for a gut check. Many professionals along Wall Street are forecasting that the U.S. stock market will keep rising. But the threat of a sharp drop remains, as it always does. That leaves investors with the luxury now, while prices are high, to reassess. Don’t get lulled into leaving your 401(k) on autopilot, unless you’re intentionally doing so, and make sure your portfolio isn’t stuffed with too much risk.
