Don't know what you just said, but I do know that their has never been and their ain't now a rush to protect sheep. Sheep are for shearing, and these guys can shear em at least twice or they don't make the cut. JMHO.....

Lee, 401K plans are and will remain a mess. How much trouble it will cause if they are only allowed a 20% holding will vary co. by co. After all, many employees are smart enough to diversify. I am wondering about the "co. contribution," which is usually in stock. The way they were talking, it would only impact the employee's contribution, protecting him from himself. I doubt there will be a meltdown. If GE employees have to divest stock and MSFT employees the same, they will simply buy brain dead index funds that will have to buy shares in those same cos. Net net, I don't think it will have much impact.
