of the stock market. Case in point, Charles Schab: "Looking for
Signs of Midyear Traction": A Town Hall Webcast with Liz Ann
Sonders and special guests. Are we ready to get back into the game?

\_ BIGGS: (over headset) Hurry up, Luke!

you are trading indexes.
\_ I'm using Etrade. It's very expensive, at $10 a trade. But

2008/10/2-6 [Finance/Investment] UID:51348 Activity:low | 10/2 Why is it I see on TV about all the J6P's talking about how their
401(k) has blown up implying they couldn't do anything about it. Like
they didn't realize they could login (or call their broker) and
transfer some or all into the 401(k)'s money market fund?
Well, you guys, Berkeley grads, know you can do that right?
I'm talking about 401(k), not IRA or your personal stock portfolio.
