**Off Topic to All**

I just received a special bonus issue of Worth Mag. that had an interesting suggestion of how to "jump start" your Roth IRA. They suggest you open a Roth and also a regular IRA(non-dedectable) with 2k each, designating the regular IRA contribution for 1997. Then you can roll over the regular into the Roth with no tax consequences and in effect have your Roth start out with 4k. Neat.
