Lots of unknowing people put their IRA's into BOND FUNDS ------ and that's the kind of thing I'm talking about --- no matter WHAT --- you MUST understand and learn what you're doing or the match is wasted - as is the time it took to accumulate some money etc. People just seem to fall asleep when it comes to investing and THINK that because they're in a 401K all is right with the world.
