ill probably be rolling over a 401k to fidelity next year. hows it work once its in fidelity, you can just buy whatever you want? i assumed you could just buy mutual funds
nah, just open a ROLLOVER IRA with Fidelity or any other firm and roll over your old 401k to it. In an IRA you can invest the money any way you like. 401ks are the ones that are limited. Withdrawing the MONEY from the IRA after you sell shyt and don't reinvest it is where you get hit with tax implications.
