“Where should someone invest their 401(k) funds? “
I wish i knew the answer to that. Depends on what you have as available options. Unless you have some “guaranteed” options i don’t really have any advice for you. Nothing is safe right now. In fact, at the current moment, cash is probably the best thing to have right now in a financially sound bank. The insanity of the markets (wholly produced by irrational credit lending and sovereign debt) does not lend itself to rational decision making.
As i said to TaxControl, i think that durables, food stocks and ammunition and physical commodities may be the best bet. But then again, if i could see in the future i would have my own island and have left this decaying shithole many years ago.

Second, diversify as much as possible in your portfolio.
I myself watch the FOX BUSINESS NETWORK - and the FOX BUSINESS BLOCK which is on early every Saturday morning looking for good stock picks or stock trends.
But diversifying ones portfolio is always best.
If you can, research stocks on your own. Investigate companies and their sotck histories and current portfolios. Look carefully at who is running the company and look at any past history of them running any other company. Take these things into account when shopping around for stock buys.
