    401k

    Is anyone doing any better than 4.3% return on your 401k? This just pisses me off. Stocks are doing great, but 401k is costing me money.

    I'm at 16%! But I'm also an ex-finance guy with a Series 7 . Logan, look around for international funds (South America is good), precious metal funds, or oil funds.

    Good luck

    In that case, look for aggressive growth if you are under 30, growth if you are between 30-40, and value/income funds if you are 40+

    Sorry Logan I don't know your age, but aggressive growth/growth funds ALWAYS outperform value funds over the long haul.

    yea thats pretty bad lol. you can get more out of an ING Direct savings account ahahhaha. check out American Funds, they are great funds IMHO. Particularly the AMCAP fund and the growth and new worlf fund.
