It is important to remember that a 401k is not an investment. It is an account that contains a particular investment. So, the answer to this question depends on the investment within the 401k. There are a couple of popular investment types that claim "insured" status. First, stable value funds generally promote themselves as fund types that do not lose value. Money market funds, although not explicitly insured, generally are regarded as safe as cash.
The 401k is not taxed but the Roth 401k will be best in the long run as the money you get out wont be taxed then.

To calculate the average deviation from the average value, you first find the average of the values. Then, subtract the average value from each individual value, take the absolute value of the result, and find the average of these absolute differences. This average is the average deviation from the average value.

According to Fidelity, the average 401(k) balance was $69,100 at the end of 2011 ( http://bucks.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/23/fidelity-finds-slight-rise-in-employee-401k-contributions/). If there are 100 million contributors, which I consider an upper limit, that total valuation is approximately $6.9M millions ($6.9 trillion). According to Seeking Alpha, world stock market value in March 2010 was $49.1 trillion down from a December 2007 peak of $61 trillion (http://seekingalpha.com/article/199294-world-stock-market-value-reaches-20-month-high). Therefore, one possible upper limit percentage of 401k value to total market value would be the maximum 401k estimate of $6.9T divided by the lower total market value of $49T or ~14%. However, I would consider that to be a fairly significant overestimate considering that the market has gained some value back since 2010 and that I don't believe there are 100M 401k accounts in existence.
