[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our 529 offers a CD option. DS has 7 years until college and I've been using a target graduation date option but returns haven't been good mostly because bond funds have sucked instead of being a counter balance to stocks. I'm thinking of sticking half the money in a CD option and half in an S&P 500 index fund within the 529, then gradually shifting more of the money into CDs within the 529. Is this a bad idea?[/quote] When my DD was 7, I was fully in stocks. The account doubled by the time they were college age. For anyone who is saying they are underwhelmed by the results of their 529, you need to adjust your investment choices. The target age funds are too conservative in my view.[/quote]
