<prompt> Human: Parents have a 401k in stock with GE that was worth close to 500k almost a decade ago. It has lost another 10k in the past month and is now at a total value of roughly 204k. Their particular division is being sold off and they have lost faith in GEs value ever rising to a healthy value for my time and money invested.They are planning to retire in 12 years 65, what should they do to make retirement much easier on themselves? Should they stick with GE only stock? Can they have it reinvested into SP? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.  <response>: I owned GE stock for several years. Lost plenty of money on it. The time to sell was at 18 a share when they announced the new company plan. they are divesting themselves of several businesses and are going to be a smaller, less valuable company. They arent going to ever go back up to where the were. They should move their entire 401 into a diversified Vanguard Index Fund.
