the company matches i think up to 6%.  12% comes from my paycheck biweekly.  so out of that amount i have 52% on the nordstrom company stock and i have about 10 others that i put money into. i think two of them are like "banks" that money doesnt get invested to but i think i get some interest in it, small, but who cares.

As for ETF's, I think they're best suited for people who move large chunks of money at a time. Many mutual funds allow you to add modest amounts monthly or biweekly without additional cost. The brokerage fees for doing that with an ETF would chew up a lot of your investment.
Hmmm - Good to know. Thanks!
