401ks aren't really a stock plan so much as a retirement plan. yes you can play around with it for stocks, but you can do the same for a couple insurance policies too, and it all comes down to the same issue. the only advantage to a 401k and stocks is that the money in it is tax-free to begin with, which may also lower your tax dues, and if you play it even mediocrely to break even, you should come out with a profit. just remember that any money you play with as cash will come out to a taxable value.
didn't know Nintendo was viable in the US though. will make for another good one to watch. <__<;
(ps - it already went up almost 2 and a half percent from the drop).
