XPO | 3rd qtr. 401K contribution

I was thinking the same thing so I went and looked up past contributions. All have came The month after the end of the quarter. Last quarter hit my account 7-03-08. Hope that helps
 
I was wondering why the delay too and came up with an guess as to why. Lower stock price= more shares per employee to cover match. I have watched our stock for a while now and there is usually a spike in price at the end of the quarter. I know it sounds like BS,but someone is stalling waiting for a rebound in my opinion.
 
money market...doen't go up ...also doesn't go down.
The money market option of our 401k is not FDIC insured. Something to think about. I did not know this until recently and was kinda surprised. Even that may not be spared.

I would think it is a good time to sell your preferred stock to come up with more shares of common stock at the low prices
 
Not to say that I'm smarter, but I managed to put $$$ into a 2 year CD that yields more than most today. Sheer luck and the fact that I wanted more control over my money than what you get in a 401K. Sure I'm paying taxes but in the end when I get the money out, I won't have to pay a dime, the government can't touch it. I'm reading where Nancy Pelosi wants to tax all retirement funds also. I know that you have to pay deferred taxes at a lower tax bracket when you pull money out but she wants to tax it MORE.

People don't understand that sure Democrats put out a good front on socializing our medical system and helping people out but they don't advertise that YOU the middle class will fund this and not get a dime of it. My mom had cancer, no insurance and it took us MONTHS to work through a convoluted system and many case workers to finally get one that made the offhand remark that the state had funds for female type cancers. It paid her medical bills but not living expenses for the entire year.

Then within 10 blocks of her home is government homes where there are healthy women running around with 2-5 kids hanging off their skirts. The school bus lets the kids off at the front gate. At one time I also lived 6 blocks on the other side and had my car breakdown. I tried to put my kids on the bus to get to their schools which were over 2 miles away and was refused?? Their answer was: I lived too close to the school.

Huhhhh, so did these kids.

The welfare office encourages women to have kids in order to get help. I knew of two women of different ages that tried to get help. Both were trying to better their lives, the first left an abusive husband and had 3 kids. She made $5 a week too much for food stamp help. The second was on unemployment, going to college full time, her husband separated from her and she had a newborn. Her money was running out and she applied for more help. She was told to go have another baby and then she'd get help.

She came to our college class crying, said she didn't want another child right then she just wanted to finish her degree and get a good paying job.

Dems want to tax and spend and tell everyone about how they 'helped' the little guy.
 
I too lucked into a CD that gave me a great rate compared to todays. It is an 18 month and was just dumb luck that I got locked into a good rate a few months before all this mess. Matures in 6 months and I now have to figure out what to do because I don't think interest rates will be up enough by then to do another. Maybe just 3 or 6 month ones till rates go up some. Is it just me or are we being pushed toward socialism more everyday? This bank bailout is a prime example. Are you frikkin' kidding me with this crap?

I have done just that one time and made few bucks real quick. I don't keep more than a years worth of match in stock before I sell it. I try and guess when it has peaked and sell it off.
 
I still have around 10 months left on my CD and I'm trying like heck to not have to cash it in. Told my husband that instead we'll have to cut spending...since we don't have anyone to TAX for money LOL!!

What I meant earlier about the CD is that I know I'm paying more taxes right now than I would when retired in about 20 years but at least I'll have the cash outright. I've recently found a job that will pay for my training and if I make it through that I'll be hired on full time, work from home and make a good chunk of money with just $50 out of pocket a month on expenses. No driving to/from work, upkeep on car, etc. You can't take regular drive-to-work expenses off your taxes.

Who knows what kind of retirement we'll have in 10-20 years? I know it's not the same as when my husband and I got married nearly 30 years ago.

I think we are headed more for GLOBALIZATION. The world will unite into one government. Where was it that I read that Clinton signed papers saying that the UN has a hold over us?

One Nation Under the UN, Socialized without Liberty and No justice for All.

People push for the government to do something without realizing that by doing so they are losing rights, handing over their money for someone else to pass around. Sad thing is that no matter what type of government we have in this world there is a loophole somewhere and someone to take advantage of it.
