Motley fools

[dancerjodi]

I love these guys! I'm reading through their 401k section (finally signing up for mine here, eventually will look into rolling in the one from THP). They say:

"The typical investment choices in a 401(k) plan are likely to be:
* Money market funds
* Stable value accounts (guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) or bank deposit accounts)
* Bond mutual funds
* Stock mutual funds
* Llamas

Kidding. Llamas are not offered as an investment vehicle under any 401(k) plans. If your 401(k) is for some reason offering llamas, consider instead working for a company that is not run by somebody who's insane. Choosing to invest in llamas cannot possibly help your retirement. Now, back to the boring stuff . . . "

I once saw an ad in a magazine suggesting that llamas were a good way to diversify your portfolio. Come to think of it, I believe it was "Martha Stewart Living," where one should get all one's investment advice.

Oh, here's something similar, but without pictures of llamas:
