Non-Tech : Waterhouse Securities -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

I made my 1998 IRA contribution first and then converted the entire thing. No problems.

The risk I took on by doing that is the inability to withdraw my 1998 $2000 contribution without penalty. Roth IRA contributions can be withdrawn without tax or penalty at any time (although they cannot be so easily put back). The "contributions" in a rollover Roth IRA cannot be so withdrawn for 5 years, and each new contribution in that same account resets the 5 year clock to zero. So, next year, my 1999 Roth IRA contribution will have to go into a new account unless I want to reset the no-penalty contribution withdrawal clock. It won't be until Jan 2003 (I think) that I will be able to merge the two accounts.

Best wishes,
John

I've found that Citibank ATM's don't charge a fee for Waterhouse ATM cards. Are there any other banks that don't charge?

Also, anyone have any details on the WNB checking account that was mentioned a while back? Other than FDIC insurance, any reason it might be attractive to someone with a WSI money management account?
