>You have to look a little deeper in to how these plans are run. The article I referenced doesn't really go into how the investments are made. Like I said earlier the "dot com" bubble nor the "great recession" had almost no effect on these plans. They do not deal in equities although there are some allowances for individuals to put small percentages of their personal accounts in Mutual funds/ETFs- at their own risk/reward. The fund itself goes for safety and a 31/2 - 4% annual return.
