Picking investments in your 401(k) is it’s a lot different than picking stocks. Thank goodness. Most people, myself included, are terrible stock pickers. In fact few 401(k)s allow you to pick individual stocks. When we talk about choosing your 401(k) investments, we’re talking about choosing mutual funds.
