Rate
Changes and Your Portfolio: Awaiting with
Interest Over the last two years, we've grown used
to rising interest rates. Ever since mid-2004, the Federal
Reserve Board has regularly increased the federal funds target
rate. However, that pace has begun to moderate. It's not
necessarily safe to assume that interest rates will be flat or
drop, but it's no longer a given that they'll automatically go
up, either. What does this mean when it comes to your
portfolio? |

Ask
the Experts: Is it too late to make an IRA contribution for
2006? You can make an IRA contribution for 2006 at
any time up until the due date for filing your federal income
tax return for the year. For most people, this will be April
16, 2007. This deadline isn't affected by any extension you
may receive to file your return. So, if you obtain an
automatic six-month extension, you'll have additional time to
file your tax return, but you won't have any additional time
to make an IRA contribution. |

Ask
the Experts: How do I undo my 2006 Roth IRA
conversion? So you converted your traditional IRA
to a Roth IRA in 2006, and now you've determined that the
conversion no longer makes good tax sense, or that you were
ineligible to make the conversion in the first place. What do
you do? You may be able to reverse ("recharacterize") your
conversion. When you recharacterize a Roth conversion, it's as
though the conversion never occurred, and the funds are
treated as having never left your traditional IRA. |
