The 401K I had for my company was all self directed in TDAmeritrade. When I "de-employed" I rolled that to an IRA and yes, all self directed. I keep 25% in a Vanguard fund as well, the rest cash, and stocks. I limit myself to 2 hours a month of research and am careful to primarily invest in stocks in market sectors I know about personally.Quote:

We've all taken a significant hit if we have money in the market, but the good news is that many of the companies are still solid and profitable. While the account value is down the returns on the stocks should still be good, unlike the mess I (we) suffered in the last big drop. Hopefully a silver lining.
Lost $9k last I checked. Hoping to make up on the rebound. Ten yrs to full retirement...
