#3 -- Nobody can tell you what to do - nobody knows your personal financial situation. Read this thread and learn -- so go back and start at page one.
1), the guy is an private investment guy that handles the companies 401k, he is a part of Baird Financial

2) To be completely honest I am really intimidated by all of this, never having done it, nor knowing anyone who has done it. Hence why I havent touched my old 401k, which is with Fidelity in one of their target date funds. About a month after being hired on, my new company had their 401k review and the investment guy talked to me afterward about possible strategies.

3) thats alot of reading

haha thanks
