No, you shouldn’t empty your 401k; that’s a huge taxable event.
What you might consider, though, is reallocating the funds within it. For example, I exchanged a big chunk of my US stock market index fund for an international stock index fund a day or so ago.
In my case, VTSAX -> VTIAX. But obviously it varies depending on what funds are available to you, your particular investment goals, etc. Also, trying to time the market is often regarded as a fool’s errand; the only reason I even considered it is the extraordinary circumstance regarding systemic and sovereign risk going on in the US right now.
Wtf? Should I empty my 401k
