 Charles, 
    Ben is correct. As a 401(k) is a 
Qualified Plan, the only way to fund the account is through salary deduction 
contributions (up to $14k this year), a rollover from another 401(k), an 
IRA conduit (an IRA funded from a prior 401(k) that was rolled over to the 
IRA).  As Ben further stated, non-qualified, private investment funds would 
not be permitted to be placed into a 401(k) by the sponsoring company. Only 
qualified money can be rolled over into another 401(k), with some restrictions 
on the type of qualified monies..

  Subject: [RT] 401K QUESTION: TRYING TO 
  HELP A FRIEND

  I think someone on the list probably knows the 
  answer to this question.  I have a local friend who works for the 
  USPS. 
  He also owns some Wal-Mart stock in a taxable 
  personal account.  Can he transfer that stock and place it in his 
  401K? 
  Thanks for your feedback.
