what is the greatest return (%) you have gotten on your 410 (k)?
926067
On average over the LONG run, the market will increase by about 8% a year or so +/-.\n\nI think my best year was around 30%.  I was clueless for the longest time, just trying to balance my selections.  I used morningstar, etc to try to pick the best funds, but net-net, the 401K generally followed the market.\n\nThen, I learned how to trade and my returns improved.  Although you can't typically "trade" your 401K, you can move money to/from cash on occasion usually.  I've learned since then to take $$ and put any nonmatched funds into either a self directed ROTH IRA or a self directed traditional IRA.\n\nIf you're young, put your first nonmatched $4K into a self directed ROTH IRA.  Your money there will grow tax free so you won't EVER have to pay additional taxes on your earnings.\n\nHope that helps!

While this question does not provide sufficient information. I will make try.\n\nWith a monthly, annual, or even daily basis, an SD of .04 is very low and a return of 12% is very high . . . these two stats rarely occur together making me think you need more info. "Lies, damn lies, and statisitics" Beware!

The most fool proof is t-bills.  About 5% return.  But with inflation running at 4%, it is not much of a return.  Then after taxes, you will probably find yourself in the hole.  That is one of the best money making strategies of the U S government, tax inflation.

0% forever if the money is in a Roth IRA.\n\n0% if the money is in a Traditional IRA - until you are required to withdraw the money at age 70 or so and claim the gain as regular income (not capital gains)\n\n15% if held for a year or more.\n\n35% (approximately, depending on tax bracket) if held for less than a year.

As of Today,,according to Yahoo Finance...\nThe Top 10 mutuals return:\n\n3Month> 23.7% to 36.6%\n1 Year>  60.6% to 75.5%\n3 Year>  45.9% to 50.6%\n5 Year>  37.9% to 47.8%\n\n........................................\nYahoo's Screener returns these results\n\n"All>Down more than 50%>Year to Date"\n1 Fund)  --85.7%\n\n"All>Down more than  10%>1 Year"\n25 Funds--- Range  -10.3% to -88.9%\n\nHowever,,that 88.9 Loss is a sorta exception.\nThe Next Loser on that list is -34%\n#11=  -17%\n#12=  -13%\n\nThere are Only 5 showing ,,Down more than 25%\n\nAnd only 179 showing "Down more than 0% 1yr"\nWhile there's 16,643  "UP more than 0% 1yr"\nWith 13,433 "UP more than 5% 1yr"\n..........9,762 "Up More than 10% 1yr"\n\n\nSo,,of Over 16,500 Funds,,,,\n25 are Down More than 10%\nvs\n9,762 UP more than 10%\n6,061 Up more than 15%\n\nFrom that simple comparrison it seems a safe assumption that a "Dart Thrown" amongst ALL Mutual Funds could be expected to return 10% or better\n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>\n\n"Worst Case"....???\nOnly 25 of more than 16,000 are Down more than 10% in current 1 yr period AND 3yr period\n\n51 are Down more than 10%,,Y-T-D\n561 of 16,600+ are Down More than 0% YTD\n\nThat's 30:1 Odds of hitting a Gainer larger than +0%,,,\non nothing but a Blind Grab.\nA LITTLE research can be expected to better those Odds exponentially,,in my opinion.\n\nOk,,we all are familiar with the saying,\n"Past Performance is No Gaurantee of Future Results".\nEZ enough to understand that.\n\nYet on the Other hand,,according to both Market Logic and Common Logic it's a valid Assumption that \n"IF the Fundamentals Underlying a Fund's Performance remain basically IN TACT & In Effect,,,,,\nThe Fund's Performance Model will be approximately replicated."\n\nPut Another way,,,If most all things remain equal about the Fund,\nIt's Reasonable to expect the Fund  to perform in a Similar manner.\n\nIt Might have done +20% last year,,,if things stay Similar,,\nOne could reasonably expect a +10 to 20 % range as a basic assumption.\nA Drop from +20% to +10% is a HUGE Correction Factor to include in any assumption of "all things remain equal"--the basic fundamentals being maintained.\n\nLets apply that to a couple of examples:\nGold and Oil both have about TRIPLED in last 3~4 Years.\nObviously,, Funds weighted in Those Now Reflect  That RISE.\nActually,,they reflect Commodity Pricing + Actual Enterprise Value +++INVESTOR SENTIMENT>>Momentum.\n\nBut can Anyone in their right mind think that Gold or Oil will TRIPLE AGAIN in next 3 yrs or so?\n200$ to 600$~700 Gold,,,,OK,,,but $650 Gold to $1,950?\n$20 Oil to $60's,,Sure,,but From HERE Forward..$60's to $180's??\nWithin next 3~4 years??\nNaaa,,No Way.\n\nSo we CANNOT Logically assume Gold or Oil will "repeat" the Performance of it's current 3yr and 5Yr record.\nIt can CERTAINLY Do Very Well,,,but it's Recent Performance is an Anomaly,,,a Unique Situation.\nAND,,it was (arguably/Probably) coming from a UNDER-valued position----it had a Latent/Dormant UNrealized Value which accounts for a substantial %% of it's Upward Move.\n\n\nNow lets look at DEFENSE SECTOR for a example contrary to Above.\nDefense itself had a Windfall UP-Move.\nWe CANNOT (Or at least HOPE NOT) expect the\n MOTIVES/MKT- Forces to REPEAT.\n\nBut even so,,,the Fundamentals of The COMMERCE of Warfare/Defense  remain Intact,,,and are expected to do so thru next several years.\nThe DEMAND for relative Products/Services is not only Still Growing,,it's EVOLVING.\n"The Big Picture" of DEFENSE is one of GROWTH.\nWhich means Growing Sales/Revenues/Profits,,,it means Innovation,,,it means Mergers & Consolidations..\nBlah,Blah....\n\nSo if we Compare something like Gold &

10% penalty plus taxes...so, yeah, at least 30% penalty. \n\nProject returns 50%....which will be taxable, right? So, if you are in 25% bracket, you lose 25% of your return...so, now you are down to a net gain of 37 1/2%.\nSo, it costs 30% to access your money to make a 37 1/2% return....\ntherefore...\nyou net 7 1/2% return. My guess is....you stand a decent chance of making 7 1/2% INSIDE the 401/k and saving yourself all the hassle of moving the $$ around.
