I have my TSP in a target retirement fund right now. Why? For the reasons you stated. I’m a fan of Suze Orman, but I’ve chosen to not follow her advice on this one. Besides, there’s no rule that says once I invest in a target fund that I have to keep my money there for the next 40 years. If I decide when I get closer to retirement that I don’t want things so conservative? I can choose to put my money in a different investment. Easy as that.

@shoyu: Suze Orzman also keeps 99% of her portfolio in bonds. Give ME a break.

I read an interview with Suze Orman on CNNMoney.com:

“Target funds automatically take money out of your stock funds and add it to bond funds just because you’re getting older. Give me a break!”
