Thanks for the URL, I had saved a newspaper clipping which I lost. <<you can open up an account with the Feds and buy T-bills, bonds, or notes directly, without a brokerage fee, minimum purchase only $1,000. >> No reason to go through a broker then. You just open your Fed account as a Roth. When the IRAs first came out I just bought CDs through a bank registered as Ish-IRA. Later I transferred them to some no-load funds touted by Money magazine. Should have stuck with the CDs as the funds have shown less life than old horse apples.
