Congratulations! You have a new job. At some point early on at our new company, we’re invited to a new hire orientation session where one of the key topics is benefits. One of the best benefits that is often not given enough focus in these sessions is the 401k plan. Today we’ll go through the

I’ll ruin the surprise and tell you right now that they’re not. As much as we’ve seen Nvidia’s price sky-rocket in the past few years, I can’t tell you if it will be worth more next week than today. Some folks were pretty happy with airline stocks. And then 9/11 happened. We really don’t know.
