Back on top!

Great news...our Roth's have finally made money again!

DH and bought our Roths a couple weeks before the market tanked this last time. It's been hovering around our purchase price, but today's been the first day that we've ended the day ahead in about 3 months.

Now I'm fully expecting them to have end down tomorrow, but hey, for now we are in the black!

    You don't really "buy a Roth," because an IRA or a Roth IRA is really just a label that's put on the underlying investment. Depending on your choice, you could have your Roth IRA money in a CD or invested in a mutual fund.

    The Roth IRA label just refers to the tax treatment of that money. It's not the actual investment itself.

    Fern, you are right about the difference between Roths and the investments. However, in our case, the entire Roth consist of one "Target" mutual fund. So I really was commenting that my mutual fund has finally made a profit again.
