As discussed in a recent article <a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB10001424052748703672104574654742742145368.html#printMode\">ETFs Make Inroads With 401(k) Investors<\/a>, low cost ETFs are slowly making their way into many 401(k) plans. &#8220;ETFs&#8217; appeal is that they offer investors low costs and extra flexibility. Unlike open-end mutual funds, ETFs can change hands throughout the trading day.

If you work for a big company, send management this article and demand ETFs in your plan.  You will be on your way to creating a low-cost ETF portfolio with an asset allocation that provides diversification.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There appears to be momentum gaining behind retirement portfolios adding exchange traded funds (ETFs) to their investing mix.
