Hello Peg, and all you 56ers. Still have you bookmarked Peg, hope everything is OK with you. Sorry to hear about your problem with Ameritrade, this might help you. There are two methods you can use to move funds from one IRA to another: rollover and transfer. For a rollover, you have 60 calendar days from the date of receipt to roll over the distribution to another IRA. Rollovers from IRAs may not occur more than once during a 12-month period (this rule applies to each separate IRA you own). A transfer occurs when the funds are moved from one IRA to another without you having control or custody of the funds. There are no time or frequency limits on the number of transfers permitted. Good Luck Joe

Peg, Joe's answer is quite concise. Here it is straight from the horse's mouth: irs.gov My opinion? If all your holdings in your IRA are long termers then tis better to transfer. If you're trading in your IRA then perhaps a rollover is better. The problem with transfers is how long they can take. The problem with rollovers is the 60 day time limit and the 12 month lockout from additional rollovers (if you don't like your new broker either). Picked your new broker yet? You might think about opening a new IRA with a Y2K contribution and checking them out first. If you like them then you can have them transfer everything from your other IRA's, no need to consolidate first. FWIW...Alski P.S. I'm curious who your new broker is going to be. Let us all know, eh?
