I have my IRA funds all in cash. Should I buy GW stock? It can't be in the cellar forever.... And besides, its just my retirement, right?

I'd talk to a stock broker, a retirement analyst, any kind of financial expert before taking advice from the internets.

You should invest in my company, Vandelay Industries. PM me and I'll tell you where to send a cashiers check to.

IRA is a banking code in the US yes?

I heard something about mcDonalds having PR problems from 'IRA funds'.

Your portfolio of investments should be varied according to the time left before you retire.

Regardless of company, its never good sense to put all your eggs in one basket for something as crucial as a pension investment.

Seriously, seek some sensible, professional advice, not just the random crap from Teh Internetz!

everyone should
i have

Yeah I heard IRA funds and thought of something completely different...

IRA in the UK stands for Irish Republican Army.

Hence the confusion from us Brits.

I reiterate Stelek's post. There are so many factors that need to be accounted for (time horizon, risk tolerance, projected income needs, etc) that you really should see a financial expert. I specialized in finance while working on my masters and still work with a portfolio manager. Retirement money is nothing to mess around with.

I really thought things were going to get awkward when I read the thread title.

Hurray for politically neutral economics threads!

Just remember, your star stock analysts generally have only a 50% hit rate (dark secret kept in the closet)

Yes, you should definitely borrow against your GW miniatures to invest in the IRA.

HELL NO!!!


Oil. Thats where its at.

seriously.

You need to spred your money over different areas. If its extra, set up your Roth. then add another couple of areas, such as some treasuries, or invest in commodities. Grain is killing right now, so is the oil, but there are other things to consider, such as how long you want to keep it floating, or making sure that it is someplace like metals where it will do something in the long term.

best bet,
1.go see a pro to set up something for you.
2.don't do anything until youi have a plan.
3. have a goal in mind before you make a long term investment.
4. be careful of who you go to and what you do. get references, do your homework, and take your own time.

gl to you.

Pumpkins.....they should peak right around December.

Or Pork Bellies. Can't go wrong with pork bellies.

IRA means Irish Republican Army outside the UK. For example, in the Republic of Ireland.
But yeah, professionals are your best bet for this sorta stuff, not us.

I understand that marines are going to be a hot commodity, but you should also diversify by investing in Orks and Eldar.

Damn - Ive invested all of my money in Squats and LatD - Easy come, easy go right?

Feed the troll.

Very true, no offence intended.

Don't worry, none was taken

IRA means Irish Republican Army and can mean an investment fund in the USA.

What the hell happened here?

It appears the mods didn't like our flavor of comments.

Yeah, I thought this was going to be something to do with Games Workshop making a miniature game with the Irish Republicans in it. Not that I believed it for a second, but to my point...

Aaaawwwwww.

I said nothing controversial, last thing we need are hair trigger Mods thought police. Dakka will go right downhill.

That adult comment brought to you by the IMOD the International Moderators of Dakka.

Didn't want the thread to away due to the IRA discussion and its slide towards deriding different nationalities.

I'll have pizzas delivered to your house if you would care to "moderate" some members posts for me.

Back on topic: See a Financial Advisor. And no, it's probably not a good idea.
