That only happens if the company does a match of some of the money. Some companies have instant vesting of 401K money. Others require some sort of wait. Why would you be in a 401k if they didn't match? Why not a IRA then? In an IRA you can self direct it better with a much more diverse set of options. Hell, I transfered out of the US and left it open for 1 more year just to vest before I rolled it over into an IRA. It was part of the equasion. -- Socialism and statism are great as long as someone else pays for it. As usual, you don't know much about business or saving. Go away, people are trying to have an intelligent conversation. -- Socialism and statism are great as long as someone else pays for it. As I said, you're an idiot.

And watch what you invest the IRA in. Why would I watch out? IRA is functionally the same as a 401k but without company BS involvement no? 401k is usually some employer sponsored thing. Or am I missing something. -- Socialism and statism are great as long as someone else pays for it. You're missing a lot. -- Nom=de=Plume |

But make no mistake, Obama is trying to scape goat them. Wants to look tough going into Novemeber for the PR of it. I only hope the PR drives their stock down so I can get some cheap. $10 would do it, $5 would be great. Come on baby, papa needs a new boat! Hahaha, you have the right idea. To steal the phrase, "That baby has to pay daddy!" Think, if you bought GS when Obama got elected, you would be up 300%. Heck, if it drops to $100 just might. But somehow don't think we will see $5/share. GS-A was $20.90 Friday, down about $2 in 2 days. It had been a $25 stock before the crash and dropped like a stone a couple years ago with everything else. It recovered to $20-22 range. There is no reason to believe it won't be back again as long as nothing serious happens to Goldman and I don't expect it to. Those are depositary shares. The common is GS. Don't know enough to comment on depositary shares. But a quick look shows they might be interesting if your after foreign content. But much would depend what companies it represents and the details as I like a certain amount of foreign content these days. If the Chinese ever let the Yuan float, the USD would fall. I was just looking for the shares with the most volatility The preferred stock fit that bill. Preferred's all over the board are being hit. As the interest rates may be suspect. Yes, but good things to buy if yu thing the company is good and interest rates have peeked, Then they are priced right. Who knows, gfretwell might se that $5. -- Socialism and statism are great as long as someone else pays for it. And how, pray tell, do you, the (um) average guy tell if a company is "good" and the interest rates have gone as high as they well? You can't. Not without extensive research and more smarts than Warren Buffet. That's happening for you for sure. -- Nom=de=Plume |

I'm probably missing something here but I believe you should be able to roll over any amount of 401 money into an IRA without any tax liability. I would want it out and pay the taxes now before the rates really go up. Maybe a Roth but I am thinking I will just run t myself. One of these days somebody is going to decide the deficit is important and that tax deferred money is just way too attractive. There are no tax consequences... you have 60 days to roll it to an IRA. Withdrawing money from an IRA incurs a tax liability at whatever rate you're at. A ROTH is taxed initially, then tax free when you take out the money. I am not really interested in a regular IRA. I want to pay my taxes now and own the money. The Roth really looks the most attractive if I keep it in a fund.. That might not be a good idea unless you are over 59 1/2 or something. There are penalties for just hauling it out before that. -- No penalties if rolling in to a Roth. Interesting. Take the tax hit and roll it into a ROTH...hm...need to think about that. http://www.irs.gov/publications/p590...link1000230568 Do a search on rollovers and roth. |

That is foam in the wake ;-) How do you mean? I thought if you start taking money out of the IRA/401k that there was a 10% surtax or something if you were less than 59 1/2. Me, no tax expert on this. Just seeking to understand. Because if all I had to do is pay a normal rate of taxes on it, I might start drawing on it sooner than later. -- You can roll it into another qualified plan with no penalty. Rolling to a Roth, will be income taxes, but no penalty. |
