To any Gammer that can help.. I have a situation I could use some advice on. I have been in my company's 401K for just over a year. I have no control over it since it is being handled through a local bank. They are very conservative and the returns are around 15-20% YTD. I put in around $70 a week pre-tax dollars. I know I can't take it out without penalty until age 59 1/2 which is in a year and a half. My question is, would I be better off putting that $70 a week into Gorilla's and Kings and making more than 15-20% YTD? Any suggestions or advice on this situation would be greatly appreciated. H Peterson PS...I have bought the Gorilla Game book and am half way through it. Also 100% invested in QCOM (9 shares..lol) PSS... No company match..

Ouch, jmac! That must've really been terrible for you, having spent time and effort trying to help out, then getting kicked in the teeth. I'm so sorry.
