Steve Chan Why keep money in your 401K?
3 June 2020 | 60 replies
That is a strategy that must be employed with a great plan in order to forecast a greater outcome than investing through your retirement account; however, I will say that borrowing from your 401(k) to reinvest does seem like a prudent strategy for a sophisticated investor.
