Question by Emily Dew: Can anyone recommend a good website to teach me the basics of investing my 401K?

I have very basic knowledge of investing in stocks and have actually built a small portfolio over the past 13 years or so. However, I have no idea how to invest 401K money where I have to choose from limited funds and investment vehicles. I've read several books and they all seem to contradict each other in their advice. Can anyone recommend a good website or book that will help me understand the basics so I can make my own decisions? Thanks!

Here's a few websites that I have used...

http://www.fundadvice.com/401k-help/401k-plans/401k-help-introduction.html

http://www.401khelpcenter.com/

http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/partsub/funds/401k/start.asp

And here's a really good site that you can enter the ticker symbol of the funds available to you and get all the scoop on them...

Hope this helps.
