A few years ago . BTIB (before the internet bubble) , I converted my traditional IRA (from many years of low income work) to a ROTH IRA.

Oh what a great feeling paying income tax on gains that evaporated !*

Not too smart.* I just went with the flow , not thinking about what the future of the market could be.*

Back then 99-2000 , I also subscribed to The Street . Com and used the advise.
Also not too smart.* *
