Case closed?

Is anyone here self-employed and if so, do you have any retirement accounts set up? I'm looking at the fidelity investments website, and I'm sure I should call them first, but thought I'd consult with one of you before I made that call. Any suggestions on what type of IRA to start up? I have a corporation and ~~launder~~ write off everthing through there.

I'm self employed.

I have a Fidelity IRA. It's a rollover from when I was working for the man, and I put a small amount into it monthly. A standard IRA..not Roth.

I am looking forward to opening a different one with Vanguard.

I'm gonna start from scratch, so, nothing to rollover. I see quite a few options on the Fidelity Investments site, seems bit overwhelming, I'm not too well versed in that financial arena. But it looks like I have to do some reading so I can at least familiarize myself with the concepts of how each vehicle works. Why do I have to grow up?

Probably a long shot but anyone here a CPA or close to it?

I am buying this book.

Anyone see the segment on 60 Minutes last night? This was the first I'd heard of this high frequency trading but it is enough to get your blood boiling.

Thank goodness some smart dude from Royal Bank Canada figured it out and was able to beat the HFT. But it is still going on and investigations have been opened by the FBI and others.

But I have no hope that it will lead anywhere. Wall St and the white collar criminals always get off unscathed.

Steal a thousand buck and you're a criminal.
Steal ten million and you're a businessman.

Damning piece on how Chase weaseled out of liability for their part in the 08 crash.

It's sickening how corporations get to run roughshod over people.

ice grillin you · November 07, 2014, 11:05:02 PM

i dont feel proud about it but that shtein doesn't even bother me any more....it will never ever change...ive been beaten down

its why i focus on social issues now...i give to the people who are less off than me as much as i possibly can....but satan reagan made sure big business would run this country and he won....because it always will....you cant go back from here

PhillyPhreak54 · November 07, 2014, 11:15:02 PM

Maybe I'm just naive and always will be to this - but I cannot fathom how companies can get away with things like this. With government aid!

And the corporations don't just cover it up but they flaunt the fact they were not smacked down.

I dumped Chase because of their role in the crash and immoral business practices.

Find me a politician who will legit fight these corps and I'll not only vote and donate but volunteer for them. Citizens should not be allowed to be farged by big business.
