Anyway, I've been absent from my own thread for too long and just caught up with it today. I'm going to sit down and figure out how to move things around within the accounts I already have since i have both a ROTH IRA and 401K. Both are set up on autopilot basically. I think I set the 401K at moderate growth level and I know I set the ROTH at a targeted retirement age of 2045 with in Vanguard's Star Fund. I'm not sure I want to touch the ROTH. I think it may be just fear on my part. I honestly am not sure how to read exactly what it's doing in terms of performance overall. I believe the most I can see is from 3 years ago on and I've had it longer. I don't know what I've put into it total versus where it is sitting right now. I know that's bad but I was kind of working on the assumption that I would always be able to pull that info up from day one on their website.
The 401K is new and for whatever reason I feel more comfortable playing with it. I just need to figure out Fidelity's website.
All the same, the point is, I'll be making my changes and posting the results etc as I said I would many many pages ago. I started the thread and I'm ok with being the guinea pig even if I walk into a wall, doh!
Alright, time to plug in the Rush In Rio DVD and get to work. I'll be back.

Vanguard Star Fund SUCKS! That is the fund you should move. It invests in other Vanguard funds --- how dumb is that (for them not you) and has a 5 year growth of a whopping 3%
This is a bunch of drunks throwing darts at a dart board of a bunch of drunks throwing darts. A fund investing in other funds all owned and managed by the same group. UGH!
In TEN YEARS its UP 23% -- so 10 grand invested is now 12 grand. OMG! Horrible.
Sorry -- it's just another Mutual Fund disaster du jour.
