Money: Time To Revisit Your 401(K)

The recent stock-market rally may have given you the courage to peek at your 401(k) statement again. If you’re also ready to tune up your retirement strategy, a new online one-stop shop for 401(k) information can help. Run by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), the Smart 401(k) Investing website www.nasd.com/investor/smart/401k explains the basics and also offers info for slightly more sophisticated investors–such as insights on asset-allocation strategies based on number of years until retirement, tax implications of borrowing from your account to buy a house, and options for what to do with your money if you switch jobs. –B.K.
