    You can control the class of investments in a retirement account. Shift to a more aggressive mix in a thriving economy, more stable in a weaker one. Most work on bear/bull percentages, which makes it easier to manage for those with little to no experience.

      You can, but who actually does? The people managing the accounts make most of their money off of asset trades, so its in their best interests to convince you to keep it in stocks.

        I use a portal to control my retirement accounts. I’m pretty sure most of them work like that now.
