@Yaniv KehatI'm an LO at a direct lender.

Have you considered using a self-directed IRA to invest rather than cashing it out? 

Whichever direction you go, be sure to work with folks who understand this and gives you the confidence to take reasonable action - I'd personally take an okay investment and weather the storm for a few years that will eventually perform well, and do that each year - rather than take 3 years to wait for the best deal possible.
