Jim,
Are you talking about trading your own funds in the 401k or the funds of
everyone? A 401k normally is subdivided so that each person has a
sub-account with which to invest as he or she sees fit.
I have written extensively and teach seminars on trading the upcoming Single
Stock Futures inside of retirement plans, including 401k's, IRA's and
regular pension funds. These contracts may be traded in a normal securities
account, rather than going through a trust company to trade traditional
commodity futures.
We have a seminar coming up in Chicago on September 28th and I would be glad
to talk to you further about this.
Thanks,
Perry Dahm

Can anyone tell me if it is OK for me, as an employee, to trade the
company's 401(k) money without becoming a CTA ? I'm not an officer,
director or shareholder of the company. The 401(k) plan has a provision (or
can be modified) to allow trading futures contracts.
I've looked at a dozen websites with CFTC regulations and references and I
can't find a simple sentence that says 'its OK for an employee to trade the
company's 401(k) plan'.
If there's a simple answer, or a place to find it, I would appreciate the
help.
thanks,
Jim
