International fund in Applied Materials 401K plan

I was asked to also put up a chart of the MSIQX. Here it goes.

Morgan Stanley Institutional International Equity Portfolio Fund

I doubt person(s) responsible for Applied Materials 401K will get to this blog, but just in case: I have been   always surprised seeing how poor the variety of offered investment choices is. There are really good companies out there that not only offer much, much better choices but also professional portfolio management. Here is just one of them: http://www.kppfinancial.com/aboutKPP.html.

Disclosure:  I have no affiliation with KPP Financial. 

S&P and MSFT plus AMAT

S&P 500 (SPY)

Microsoft (MSFT)

Keep in mind that most stocks have much more volatile chart and this model won't work for them. Compare for example with AMAT chart below.

Pictures first explanations later.

Market is falling fast and I want to upload a few charts before it is too late.

Fidelity Contrafund

Fidelity Equity-Income Fund

It is trembling more than the Contrafund, so, one may want to give it some more leeway like below

Spartan 500

T.Rowe Price Growth Stock

Vanguard Mid-Cap Index Fund

Vanguard Target Retirement
