"The Customer Can Have Any Color He Wants So Long As It's Black". -- Henry Ford

These words,   attributed to Henry Ford nearly a century ago,  can easily be adapted to the world of  401(k)s and IRAs. "The customer can own any investment he wants in his retirement plan, so long as it is a stock, bond or CD".

Since 1975, when the first IRA rolled down the assembly line, investors have been led to believe that their choices have been limited to what the stock market offered. The fact is, IRS rules permit almost an endless menu of investment options, yet these options have been limited largely by retirement administrators and custodians.
