I'm Broken
can anyone tell me if the investments in the teamster 401k have ticker symbols? i.e. are there actually symbols that i can look up on the internet to check the status of them?(instead of having to log in to the 401k website?)
You can get your ticker symbols from the web site you have to sign into. Then you can go to msn money and make the portfolio page one of your tabbed homepages. You can enter the symbols of the funds and the share amounts if you want to. When you open up your browser it will update the days changes and give you your total portfolio value. It makes if kind of easy since you don't have to sign into anything or enter any passwords.
thanks for the help everyone- but if there are any ticker symbols, they don't list them on the 401k website- or at least i don't find them anywhere and i've clicked everywhere.
no biggie
There are ticker symbols for all the major indexes including many of the index funds included in our 401(k) plan. If no-one puts them on here by the weekend, I'll look them up for you. Peace.
Symbol for the S&P 400 is $MID.XI think that the only investments in your 401k that have ticker symbols will be the stocks that you have in your self-managed account. I just tried to check if the 2 funds that I have in my 401k have symbols (S&P 400 and EAFE) but they don't as they are comprised of many different investments.
You can google the ticker symbols for the major indicies, but if he can just log into the teamster-ups 401k website there a page that shows each funds exact performance for the 3 months, 1 year, 1 year rolling, 3 years, and 5 years, I believe. Send me a PM Forty6and2 and i will try to explain in more detail.

its ok everyone- i was just curious if it was possible to track my 401k investments on my homepage. i use the dell/google homepage. my question was mainly just to see if it was possible to put the individual investment info onto the homepage so it could track my investments for me...INSTEAD OF HAVING TO LOG INTO THE 401K WEBSITE TO SEE MY PERFORMANCE.
its not really a big deal to me if it can't be done.
I put all my money in bonds a while back. I highly advise that or cash. Stock funds are way too volatile right now and most are losing money as fast as you put it in.
If you still have 10+ years to go then right now is a great time to get into stocks because you can get them cheap. Remember that even though the funds look like they are bleeding cash, you actually don't lose (or make) any money until you sell.
noI am a new hire driver and wanted to know if the company matches up to 3% of your contributions. I keep various answers from the people at our center, hell the Center Manager wouldn’t even answer my question.
Thanks!

Only management gets a match. No matches for union employees because we get the nice pension. It doesn't matter. Put as much in as you can. Over time you will do very well.I am a new hire driver and wanted to know if the company matches up to 3% of your contributions.
