I have learned a lot on this thread and hope it continues.
I'd like to share that since this thread started, I have seen my investment grow.

I took Greg's advice and took money out of a previous employer 401k and transfer it into an self directed IRA. It only allowed mutual funds and they were just underperforming.
Since April 17th till today, taking Gregs advice from this thread, Im in the GREEN 5.30%. This all in a stock market that is up and down constantly. Still I collect on dividends.

The sad part about this is I have virtually the same amount of money in my current employers 401k plan (again mutual funds). During the same time period with me contributing money every 2 weeks to it. It was down $800.
I may have to switch jobs so I can move the 401k money into my IRA.
