that makes a 401(k) a poorly designed vehicle.imes it feels like the whole system was set up to benefit the financial services industry, not you. given the way washington works it wouldn't surprise me. nevertheless as much as most 401(k) plans stink you should contribute to yours, even if you put it in cash. you have to take advantage of the tax blessed nature. these vehicles are too good to pass up plus many employers match your contributions and i believe in not turning down free money. first put in enough money in your 401(k) to max out the company match and then stop. the rest of your retirement investing should happen in your ira until you hit the upper limit on what you are allowed to contribute in a given years. unlike a 401(k) the ira allows you to invest whatever way you want. it was $5,000 or $6,000. what should you buy? your best bet is to own many high yielding stocks i talk about all the time on the show. they provide the protection and generate income. there are a couple of wrinkles that make it different. as much as

you do need to actively manage a 401(k). and that is different than trading. but there's a line. i mean, you know, unfortunately too many people sit there and don't look at it. they don't know how to get in to the 401(k) because it's so darn complicateat a firm. >> you make a great point, herb. most investors don't take the time to go online. they have access with the plans. investor that is have access to their i.r.a.s, small business owners and individual i.r.a.s they're starting to do more of that. i'm not suggesting they don't do it but they need guidance. >> is there a good time to do it? >> never a good time to do it without guidance with a financial adviser. because you can risk losing your nest egg and i think a percentage of 5% if someone, if someone feels that they have the rest of their portfolio intact with the right investment goals and strategies in place, they can consider doing it but not without -- >> you can be profitable with the rice advise. in other words, still not advise because it's risky. >> the clients are profitable with more leverage. they can buy more

so we would really be saying, certainly those of us who have worked in pre-k for a long time no that in the pre-k classroom, teachers know then when things are going to be problems for children. and they know not so much because the child is or isn't ready but we wouldn't expect a child to be reading in prekindergarten. rather they know because they can see a child manages the rest of the executive functions, how they manage waiting their turn, sitting still, being a part of the classroom discussion, working with other kids, interacting with their environment. so we are putting out, ecs will put out literary documents in the next bit and it's going to focus on what state policy should think about as a roadmap. it's going to have two components, a section on systems and the section on classroom and school activities. systems is going to look at programs design and implementation, system oversight, ongoing assessment of both children and classrooms, and effective and immediate intervention. the piece having to do with classrooms in schools is going to look at redefined adult capacity, t
