Hi Gold Beach and everyone who has posted about IRAs - I think this appropriate for the weekend. During the week when things are moving, especially during market hours, is probably different. Taxes are a pretty good topic, especially general interest ones. This board has discussed housing loans a few years ago, and multiple energy topics, and energy related topics like fertilizer, the chemical industry, automotive mileage etc. And also upstream items like drillers, seismic, and drill pipe suppliers like Maverick and Lonestar. As someone who has made money in my IRAs, and then had to dip into them before 59 1/2 and pay a penalty, I appreciate all the posts.

I find the IRA discussion interesting and close enough to the topic at hand (making and keeping money) that it is relevant. Come Monday, however, the focus should return to oil and gas. wg

(OT) I have been on vacation and am 700+ posts behind, so apologies if this is redundant. There was reference to the $100k MAGI for Roth conversions...the Pension Protection Act of 2006 addressed that issue, beginning in 2010. Starting that year, anyone, regardless of income, can convert funds from a 401k to a traditional OR Roth IRA, and can transfer a trad'l to a Roth. State and Federal taxes will, of course, be due (though if memory serves there is a provision that allows an optional spreading out of the tax obligations for two years?). Now, back to the implosion....
