- for awhile TIAA-CREF was doing incredible with their managed portfolios - decline Oct 30, 10:33

  - yep -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:20
  - Oh hell yes. -- nm - Jim Oct 30, 10:05 9
    - since I am allergic to cats, I have no idea, never around them long enough to notice. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 30, 10:07 8
      - It's really bad. AND, it's almost impossible to get rid of. And once a cat pisses somewhere, they (and any other cats you have) will continue to use - Jim Oct 30, 10:11 3
        
        true -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:21
        
        yup. - znufrii Oct 30, 10:14
        
        yup, have to use a special wash to get rid of it or else it is THE place to pee -- nm - Beaker Oct 30, 10:14
      - please be allergic to dogs. please be allergic to dogs. please be allergic to dogs. -- nm - Groiny's Shower Buddy Oct 30, 10:09 3

NSA tapping Google and Yahoo internal data center links -- (link) - kilbooooo Oct 30, 09:52 25
- I expect them to have access to pretty much everything. It's how they actually use it that is the potential problem. -- nm - Ender Oct 30, 10:10 13
  - sofar it has taken them more than 10 years to figure out weathger or not Angela Merkel is a potential Terrorist so it don't look like they use it much - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:14 12
    - I figure that if the spies aren't supposed to spy on foreign leaders then who the hell ARE they supposed to spy on? -- nm - Ender Oct 30, 10:21 9
      - I think the expectation was that we would spy on those we had a *need* to spy on . (not our allies) -- nm - ty97 Oct 30, 10:25 2
        
        there are agreements on it too and it has been the "practice" for decades - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:28
        
        I think the expectation was that we wouldn't get caught. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Oct 30, 10:27
      - The universal response to being caught spying on a foreign nation is to apologize to that nation and say it will never happen again... - Ender Oct 30, 10:23 1
        
        and be thrown out of the country or put to trial if possible - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:25
      - true and i guess the answer is to treat US military personel like enemy military personle - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:23 3
        
        Like Germany isn't spying on us too... -- nm - Ender Oct 30, 10:24 2
        
        but i doub't the EU is spying on the US although if they are the intel is always outdated since it has to be translated into some 20 languages before - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:32
        
        lol then don't be worried german "inteligence" is renowng for being totally amateurs - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:26
    - Id' figure you guys, more than anybody, would want someone keeping an eye on 'ze Germans. - Mel Profit Oct 30, 10:16 1
      - if they would limit themselfs to that it would be reassuring but they don't everyone is in the same refugee boat here it seems - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:18
- Newsflash: Intelligence Agencies collect Intelligence... -- nm - Ender Oct 30, 10:08
- we're all outer party members? -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 30, 10:08
- Could we maybe just start making the list of things the NSA isn't tapping/recording/compiling? -- nm - ty97 Oct 30, 09:53 7
  - I just assume they have access to a lot more than we even suspect even with all these revelations. - Mel Profit Oct 30, 10:08 3
    - "ESPN has learned that the NSA makes secret changes to your fantasy football roster..." - Inigo Oct 30, 10:10 1
      - agreed. - Mel Profit Oct 30, 10:11
    - absolutely -- nm - ty97 Oct 30, 10:08

DAMN YOU, ML!!!!! - groiny Oct 30, 09:41 7

      - Thats ok I think he is gonna hate me more now -- nm - eag Oct 30, 09:49
- Is it Wednesday? -- nm - ♠hellSpawn♠ Oct 30, 09:42
Also, I see the Scourge of Delta is at it again. - Mel Profit Oct 30, 09:40 2
- :) -- nm - Diva Oct 30, 09:47 1
  - seriously lady, leave some for the rest of Delta. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 30, 09:50
I'm not saying I'd pay for an article of Warren's clothing but I'm not saying I wouldn't. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 30, 09:36 2
- In a perfect world, every campaign contribution would garner you an item from her wardrobe. Unfortunately... - Dr.Vermin Oct 30, 10:28 1
  - Thankfully she's trying to unrig the system. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 30, 10:32

Ok, Roth IRA time... tell me if I'm on target.. - colin Oct 30, 09:33 38
- Keep in mind that there is also a compensation limit for Roth which depends on your tax filing status - decline Oct 30, 10:02 1
  - i'm goooood.. -- nm - colin Oct 30, 10:04
- yes. -- nm - Diva Oct 30, 09:35 35
  - awesome. i need to get one opened. Fidelity ok? I have a 401k with them.. also, should I be rolling my old 401k into something? - colin Oct 30, 09:40 34
    - Depends. You need to compare fees and investment before doing so - decline Oct 30, 09:56 4
      - Old 401k doesn't cost me anything (that I can tell) and it's got a good set of investments available. - colin Oct 30, 10:02 3
        
        ytd is not what to look at. You need to look at your Annual Fee Disclosure (it's also called the 404(a)-5 disclosure). - decline Oct 30, 10:05 2
        
        continued: Plans often have access to better funds than you can get at the retail level - example inside - decline Oct 30, 10:12 1
        
        ah, ok. that's good info, i didn't know that. -- nm - colin Oct 30, 10:39
    - I just switched this morning from vanguard to wells fargo. I was happy-ish with vanguard, but I *love* my WF broker so I want to give him *all* of my - peggy ann mcamanda Oct 30, 09:51 7
      - I like the Vangard index funds. Fidelity seems expensive for stock accounts, but I already am holding some from the purchase plan at the last job. -- nm - colin Oct 30, 10:00 2
        
        The Fidelity Index funds are not comparable for being low-cost -- nm - decline Oct 30, 10:05
        
        7.95 for stocks at Fidelity isn't too bad. There are better and worse out there. -- nm - ty97 Oct 30, 10:03
      - I've got Fidelity, Scottrade, and Schwab. My etrade account still exists, but I don't use it. - ty97 Oct 30, 09:52 3
        
        I love scottrade's website. it's so *clean.* -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Oct 30, 09:59 2
        
        I just signed up last month with them -- their site is okay -- their news is really weak - Will Hunting Oct 30, 10:02 1
        
        I love how when you google a stock symbol, often the first result is yahoo finance. even google knows yahoo is king of free finance. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Oct 30, 10:04
    - IIRC, Fidelity scored abysmally on HRC's benefit guide for same sex couples (buy my 401K and a personal portfolio are with them) - ty97 Oct 30, 09:49 4
      - reminds me, I've got a small amount in a fidelity 401(k) from a previous job, I should probably do something with it. -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 09:50 3
        
        and once I get my new job, I'll need to figure out what to do with my current 401(k) as well... -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 09:52 2
        
        wait until you get a new job and roll over current and old at once. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Oct 30, 10:17 1
        
        yup -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 10:26
    - sure. and roll the old 401K into it. -- nm - Diva Oct 30, 09:47 1
      - well, just keep in mind if you do that, you may not be able to then roll the 401(k) money back out to another plan - decline Oct 30, 09:55
    - Get as much free money as you can. Usually this means taking advantage of employers' 401(k) match. - nubby Oct 30, 09:46 13
      - current employer matches $1.33 for every dollar in up to 6%.. i'm maxed there. the old 401k still is making money, has investment choices - colin Oct 30, 10:03 1
        
        I would really just roll it over to save the hassle of logging in and checking, managing two accounts. - peggy ann mcamanda Oct 30, 10:06
      - Hijack. Say I give 4% more than my employer match percentage to my 401K. Should I put that 4% in a Roth IRA instead? -- nm - ty97 Oct 30, 09:47 10
        
        It really depends - same thing as I said above about fees and investments - decline Oct 30, 09:58 3
        
        97, decline is a tax professional and is saying mostly what I said. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Oct 30, 10:03 2
        
        well more of a retirement professional - decline Oct 30, 10:15 1
        
        sorry. "97, decline is dollar sexy and is saying...." better? -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Oct 30, 10:17
        
        It depends on the conditions of the 401(k). Put your money where it will (a) grow the best and (b, if there's a tie) be as liquid as possible. -- nm - nubby Oct 30, 09:52 4
        
        I have a very good 401K program, many options, low costs. - ty97 Oct 30, 09:55 2
        
        you won't get much better investments choices than you have in your 401k -- nm - decline Oct 30, 10:00 1
        
        and I mean your employer specific one (not 401k in general) -- nm - decline Oct 30, 10:06
        
        Personally, the state operates on fixed-contribution, so I have zero choice. -- nm - nubby Oct 30, 09:53
        
        I think yes, as you know. but I think it might depend on how aggressively you manage to your AGI. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Oct 30, 09:50
Clown attacks customer in Taco Bell drive-thru -- (link) - znufrii Oct 30, 09:30 3
