OT - Partial ROTH conversion Not sure what the best strategy is to use when doing the partial IRA to ROTH conversion. I tend to select those stocks that I still like w/ good long term prospects that are at or below my current cost basis. I also, want dividend payers. Moved the following stocks to my ROTH: General Electric Company (NYSE: GE) New York Community Bancorp Inc. (NYSE: NYCB) Excel Trust, Inc. (NYSE: EXL) Penn West Petroleum Ltd. (NYSE: PWE) Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) Here is a link to a recent Forbes article titled: IRS Announces 2014 Tax Brackets, Standard Deduction Amounts And More I plan to fine tune my transfer once I complete my preliminary return in the next few weeks. Most of the stocks I transferred this year are at/near their lows and/or are out of favor and/or below my current cost basis. EKS
