401K plan

I want to know more about my 401K plan.
1.) How much money is a good idea to put in this plan?
2.) How do I choose my portfolio?
3.) What trading do I need to do with my portfolio - exchange-ins or exchange outs?

Could some one please throw some light!

Orange Savings also gives you good interest rates

Orange - Was that your money I saw flying around

It is a popular punch line from the Orange Ing Savings FDIC insured savings that gives you very good interest rates on CDs and Money Markets. Check it out and I'm planning to put some money in for a CD to save for a rainy day :)

Hey, switch to my agent....

Guys,
Switch to my Insurance agent and you can save not only on your Auto insurance but on Home Insurance (when you have one). His name is Mike Lochan and he can give you good discounts and good quote. Remind me to give you his number when I speak to you next time. He is in Millbrae.

4% Interest on saving account!

I don't believe it, I am getting about 0.5% interest in my bank and these folks (http://www.emigrant-direct.com/) are giving 4% interest on savings. I did some study and found they save on operating costs, they live only on internet. They are a devision of Emmigrant Saving bank so seems pretty stable and reliable. I am trying this. Anybody heard anything about them?

I saved 45% on Auto Insurance

Can you believe I saved 500$ on 6 months auto insurance! Recently I switched from Geico to AIS broker recommended insurance and on exactly same coverage I got my 6-month insurance for 800$ instead of $1400. I still don't know why there is such a difference but later I knew lots of my desi friend are using AIS brokers to find auto insurance deal for them.

I highly recommend it to everybody. (www.aisinsurance.com)
