I think in several plans, you’ll get eaten alive by the fees/trading costs if your plans allows a self directed stock trading plan.”.[/quote]

Actually, my plan doesn’t have any fees for this brokerage link. I specifically called Fidelity and asked them about fees and was told there wasn’t any. I looked for them in the statements and didn’t see them either. Funny that I remember seeing a disclosed $25 per quater fee on the documents when I signed up. I’m not seeing this fee anywhere. Regardless, I think it’s safe to say that in my case the fee is minimal if any.
