My 401K allows fixed investments

I really should put some of it into the stock market now that that has sunk closer to a maintainable level. (If you are investing over a 10 year+ horizon, the stock market is a wise investment. Over just a few years, however, volatility may make it look horrible. When I was staring at the nosebleed P/E ratios, there was no way in hell a couple of years ago that I was going to invest in stocks.) Cheers, Ben "...

Company I'm with is semi-flexible, in that they have certain pre-defined types of funds you can put money into - but it's good that one of them concentrates entirely upon government securities.

Hey, I only said they allowed it, not that they gave me great choices in that category! :-) Cheers, Ben "...
