Alternative
IRA Investments One nice thing about IRAs —
including SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, and Roth IRAs — is that you have
some freedom to manage the investments in them as you see fit. So
you’re not necessarily restricted to investing only in traditional
retirement account assets such as publicly traded stocks, bonds,
mutual funds, Treasuries, and money market
instruments.
Converting to a Roth
IRA Converting a
traditional IRA into a Roth IRA can be a wise idea, depending
on your circumstances. It's true that a conversion will
trigger a current federal income tax bill, which is generally based
on the balance of your traditional IRA reduced by any nondeductible
contributions. However, the benefits will likely make the
transaction worth it.
