Yeah, HotD...that's what I feel I need more of, diversity. But after last year, I just don't wanna fuck with anything. We (the employee) set up our own portfolios from a choice of about 40 or so funds.
And Maggot, you're correct. We can see what is in the fund investments...still doesn't change the fact that I can't say "I'd like to buy 100 shares of XYZ company" which is what I'd really like to do. I know I could go outside of my 401k and do that, however I'm dumping 9% of my salary into my 401k as it is (not enough, I know), and really havent saved up enough to make a decent stock purchase, nor have I really tried. I'm not the most financially responsible guy when it comes to socking a decent amount of money into savings. Pretty much just have a solid emergency fund, and that's it.
