Default Re: 401(k) and Investing

I agree with the poster who said this - go for the Roth, since a tax deduction at 32K/year isn't really that big in the scheme of things.

When you retire, that money is yours, free and clear of taxes.

Also I am unsure of the mutual funds I am invested in, someone who knows a great deal more then I do about finances told me that those were the two I should invest my money in, I ran a report for last year (2006) and it said my rate of return was 14%.
You should understand what you are in and what relative risk they have of losing principal.

You need to be comfortable with the risk and the potential reward.
