Your rant has absolutely nothing to do with losing or not losing money on
a 401K portfolio. The only ways to lose money is for the underlying
companies to go belly up, you sell when the stocks are down, or similarly
reallocate your portfolio, e.g., into bonds from stocks, when the stocks
are down.


The portfolio could go up and one can still lose by paying the tax burden.
