Borrowing from my 401k to hedge against market downturn

[Daniel Kong]

Looking at the rising interest rates, and the possible downturn in the stock market, I'm thinking of borrowing out as much as I can from my 401k to either use for some real estate investing, and also hedge against the market.  I'm also considering not putting into my 401k anymore, but I do get 20% matching from my employer which is pretty awesome. Does anybody have any thoughts on this?

@Daniel Kong this is not a great idea! Take that 20% and if you’re really bearish, stay out of stocks and hold as cash. A market downturn will likely impact real estate as well.
