<prompt> Human: Any advice on rolling a 401K into an IRA would be greatly appreciated. Looking to protect my from the recession thats going to hit in the next 2-3 years. Thank you.EDIT: I should fill in the blanks I left with my original post as I had just woken up and the coffee wasnt working yet. Problem is, same situation today, Ill try to do better.I am no longer with the company I started my 401K with, so the restrictions have been lifted. It is heavily aggressive in stocks, mostly domestic with a foreign mix. Im very happy with the performance and am looking to protect it. I am in my mid 40s and still have time to earn and invest more.Its funny how people keyed into my recession comment. I was trying to express I wanted to protect my money. I failed. That being said, I live in California. California has recently become the 5th largest economy in the world. To ignore the small bubble that has developed in the real estate market here would be irresponsible. If the 5th largest economy takes a hit, no doubt the rest of the country will feel it. Im just trying to be cautious.Thanks for the replies!  <response>: if you think you can predict recessions, you need to get a job managing mutual funds at Fidelity.
