[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1157409, member: 4886"] [b]Re: UPS/Teamster 401k...Prudential to a Dreyfus self managed account...+22.86% for 20[/b] Not everyone posts every day on this site. Are you happy the market went down so people lost value in their retirement portfolio? Do you think people shouldn't actively invest in their 401K? I'm real confused as to some of your posts. In some posts you tout not being in debt and savings (which I agree with). In other posts you mock people who spend time investing in their future. Would it be better if they spent an hour or more a day on an internet forum then spending that hour or day researching stocks? To me, it's fun to look into stocks. However, I've tempered it a lot by trying to go after various mutual funds (mostly). I also recently felt uneasy with the economy and took 25% of my 401K and put it into cash. I still dropped money, but the drop could have been a lot worse. Now I can buy some stocks for a quick rebound. [/QUOTE]
