This article is based in sheer stupidity. The headline is intentionally misleading. First off the overwhelming majority of 401k plans don't offer investments is any particular stocks other than the employer itself. Pretty much all 401k plans offer options like 2020, 2030 mutual funds or index funds which pretty much span all sectors of the stock market...tech, pharm, energy, medical, manufacturing, etc. That is what is offered by 401k plan vendors like Fidelity, T Rowe Price, etc, etc. This notion of being hyprocritical by going with the plans provided by a 401k vendor is well...stupid. If you invest in a Manufacturing mutual fund that literally touches thousands and thousands of products, does that mean you are aware and support all of them? Hell no.
