Hi Mike

Just one name change since I've been on SI. After that nasty plug-pulling incident in Florida. <g>

I'm retired so my 401(k) days are over; but my wife does free-lance writing which gives us the chance to fund the Roth's.

We are probably in the lowest tax bracket now than we will be for the next 30 years. So putting anything more away pre-tax makes little sense. And let's hope we don't get jerked around too much by the gubmint on IRAs in the future. I am concerned about having a very large portion of my assets in these tax-qualified plans.

Anyway, thanks for your thoughts; I have a little re-shuffling to do. Perhaps I could buy a Texas bank and be my own IRA trustee/custodian. -gg-

I believe you had mention a Euro bond fund in the past. I was trying to do a search for the symbol but couldn't find it.
