I thought it was against the law to give people good choices in 401K plans. -G- Do you still have Janus funds there? I have BGEIX BEGBX HSGFX SGOVX.

throw it all out and replace it with an assortment of Rydex funds. that'll give upside and downside on equities and debt, even give you leverage, if you want it.

A Ginnie Mae fund might be a good alternative, at least you've got a decent cash stream coming in (although refis and rising defaults will make this somewhat less attractive than in recent years). I use Fido's version (FGMNX) but most of the large MuFu family's and brokers have one.

No Mo, Money markets are useless in a high expense 401K. See if you can add some quality taxable short term bond funds: Evergreen Adjustable (ESAAX), Pimco Low Duration or even American's Intermediate Bond Fund of America, which is longer than I would prefer. On the equity side, see if you can add some Wasatch Funds. They are simply smarter than the other managers in small, mid-cap growth. And I agree with the foreign funds mentioned. BTW, our own 401-K sucks for choices. Without the co. contribution on the first $1500, I wouldn't even use it. Of course, the first $1500 is my last $1500 every year. <g>
