Praxair 401k (RSP) Plan PSDS Scan 12-31-2009

This plan continues to be helped by comapany stock PX which now has a 5yr APR = 14.72% and the Balanced portfolio invested 7.0% of the plan in the stock. The employee portfolio invested 39.2% of their portfolio in the stock which is too volatile and too much for a retiree in my opinion. In the scan the International Index fund is represented by EFA. A good plan that improved in 2009 with the market after the 2008 rescession.
