I'm debating between a long-term hold strategy and a stick-and-move, stick-and-move. I'm curious as to what some of your 401K strategies are. I hear a lot of younger people talking about all these insanely low-risk investments.... why would you even bother with a 3-4% yielding investment?

my 401k is all mutual funds
by iambatemanmy 401k is all mutual funds but more aggressive ones (tech, intl, etc). pretty much sticking with long term hold for the most part. up 50% in 2009.
Like Bateman, my 401k/IRA is
by CaptKLike Bateman, my 401k/IRA is mostly aggressive mutual funds, with several individual equities that I believe in the long term prospects for (5-10 years out). I've got enough short term thinking and falling knives with my normal trading account, it's nice to force myself to have some long term investing perspective.
