    New HIRE at a company and they match 401K, i know how to trade short term, but this long term stuff I have no idea. They will not match unless I choose one of or a % of each below. I am in my 20s. Which ones should I choose for value and to avoid being raped by fees?

  2. If you are going to set it and forget it, just build a nice balanced portfolio of funds. Check out the funds fees online as well.

    Fidelity also should at least have an 800# you can call to get some ideas as well. You don't have to follow their advice, but at least see what they recommend. There could also be a local broker/office you could contact. They are getting paid handsomely for that, you might as well use it.

    Make sure to 'xray' the funds to be sure you don't have a ton of overlap. In other words, you don't want to be diversified in 5 funds only to find out the funds all own the same basic stocks.
