Thanks for the info. I was just considering doing that move, but I thought it "sounds too good to be legal"... Thanks again.

Roth IRA question: Up through 1997 my IRA didn't do squat, six years of contributions accumulated but no significant gains... Happily this year I have watched my IRA brokerage account more than double with a couple of good and lucky trades these past two months, but now there is this Roth IRA. What will be the tax consequences of rolling my IRA into a Roth? Am I going to have to pay taxes on my good fortune this year, that would suck! (Oh please somebody tell me that the conversion only effects everything up til Dec 31st, 1997)
