Me either. Me 401k has been managed by an outside manager. I used to use a local guy, who saved me bacon in the 2008 freefall. We switched to a new investment platform with Nationwide in mid year and I turned the management over to Wilshire Associates. Between the two, total account value up 43% for the year.

On the other hand, I tossed 2,000 into a Roth IRA for my daughter back in 1998. It has rollercoasted up and down for 10 years and is back at 2,000.
