What is 401K?

 peace


It's a financial vehicle that allows you to put money you earn at work directly into investments.  The cool part...it's pre-tax money.  All of the earnings you make off your investment are not taxed.  The only time you're taxed on your deposits is when you withdraw your money at retirement time.  But, the really cool part is that you aren't taxed on your financial gains, even upon withdrawal time at retirement.

Hey, I just wanted to give a shout out to all the parents out there too.  529 plans are an excellent way to save for higher education costs (which seem to be rising at an alarmingly fast rate).   peace

I'd hate to have Bear Stearns stock right now.  Imagine if you'd worked there forever and were banking on your options for retirement?  Unreal.

I hope citi isn't next  nervous

I'm playing it safe. I got 5.25 on 1 year CDs, and that is looking real good right now. It ain't earning much, but it is guaranteed.

If you're diversified and long term, I think you'll be ok.

but for right now, 5.25 return isn't too bad, especially in this market  Undecided

I think after Enron, they say never have more than 10 percent or so in company stock.

This week will be interesting to watch. The fed will pump more cash into the system and JP Morgan has officially bought out Bear Stearns for two dollars a share.

I'm buying all the way to the bottom, but I think we are a long ways off. The good news is that there will eventually be a bottom.

I'm at -11.5% so far, last year I came in around 18%.

If you want to depress yourself even further you could add on fees and inflation, which would put my loss around -15%.... hihi

I'm down 5% right now, but most of my positions are long term.  I get dividends from most of my stocks so I hope they will ease the pain a little bit.  My ROTH IRA is in the toilet, but that is SUPER long of course.

really hoping Iron Man and Hulk make big bucks at the box office - I have the most $ invested in MVL.

Punk, whats your money in?  11% in this market is awesome!

I will not look at the return now (too much), but rather the price I am buying the stock at, all the way down.

JP Morgan Chase just bought Bear Stearns for $2/share.

In January of 07, Bear Stearns was @ $170

where the hell are you getting that? 5.25% in this market is incredible. i'll take 5.25% guaranteed on a 1-year investment anyday. back in 2005 i put money in CDs at 5% for 2-years. i wish i had put more in.

i max out my 401K and IRA, invest in 529 plans, buy mutual funds, and GE stock. i screw around with some other stocks in my scottrade account, but nothing major. if i'm gonna gamble, i stick to things i enjoy like sports and blackjack.  hihi

my cash is in a money market account earning 3%.
