I invest in well-managed funds, so no need to worry day to day.

Not an official recommendation cause that's not my job, but Warren Buffet recently said he's invested, or suggested his wife invest in Vanguard (I think) Index fund that invests in entire range/scope, so all of the stocks in one fell swoop. Its always sounded like a good idea to me, but I'm in another company because my Dad was, and I've kept my funds there.
