Re: Yet one more company going private; out of reach of SEC Not every one is given a choice with their 401k... many companies force you to invest in the company stock until the shares mature.

You still have to sign up for the program. We have had such 401ks at my old jobs and I was never compelled to enroll in those plans.

kudos:1 | Yes but my compensation and pay package includes a 401k match. In previous years that match was for any fund within our 401k portfolio but its now only for our company stock as mentioned.
Talk to my CEO and see if he is willing to either increase my pay by the missing match or is willing to to have our 401k invested in a broader range of funds.
