Quick IRA Question
I have a Roth and a traditional.
AGI is too high to add to the Roth.
I can add 5K to the traditional for 2010 with no added benefit of a deduction from my AGI.
My question is: Is there any reason NOT to add the 5K to the traditional?

Point. Counterpoint.
Fib, how is that tax deferred though since it will be post tax dollars going in? I mean, no capital gains is true for ANY investment until you cash it out, right?

I am certainly open to the idea, but I am just not seeing the difference between this and, say, an individual stock purchase for 5K that I don't sell for 20 years and re-invest any interest paid or dividends.

^^ If you don't see the difference, perhaps you should talk with a financial planner.
Given the choice:
A. Tax deferred account
B. Non tax deferred account
Gonna go with A every time I have the option, but that's cuz I'm silly like that.

Agreed; especially in a period where we are expecting HIGHER rates in the future than we have now. Given the deficits this country is running, I think the probability of higher future tax rates is significant.
