A “stop loss” is a pre-determined dollar amount or percentage.
Of your current 401(k) account value.
Stock markets fall, or interest rates rise.

You reduce exposure to the worst 401(k) mutual funds you own.
Not a “sell everything” emotional, headline driven panic.
A strategic sale of a mutual fund or funds dragging down your 401(k).
Build up a cash reserve in your 401(k) money market account.
Take advantage of opportunities when stock markets drop.
Upgrade the mutual funds you own in your 401(k) for the long-term.
A 401(k) “stop loss” is an all-around winner!
