Re: Tax Planning Thoughts Evolved

Thank you for the reply. It is not an easy choice so I'll probably opt to not pay the taxes up front. As far as your question goes, I'll probably end up snow-birding shortly. Which will bring me to another dilemna...buying or renting. But that's for another forum and another day.

Re: Tax Planning Thoughts Evolved

What of the pros/cons of converting a nondeductible IRA to a Roth IRA in, I believe, a 28% tax bracket living in New York, Moda? Any thoughts on that? I like the idea of having nontaxable withdrawals later but do not like the idea of paying taxes on it now. I am 54 years of age if that helps.

Re: The 30 Year Yield Has Hit Its 2011 High

This speculation about bonds brings us back to HB's Cardinal rule, namely that the future is unknowable and therefore, whether bonds rise or fall, the PP can and will protect us from the potential pitfalls. This philosophy is very liberating.
