Ok,
Based upon all the reading I've done on this board, I've decided to open a Roth IRA. I'll only be funding it a bit at a time. I'll be starting with 2% of my salary and then an additional 2% each year until I work up to the max. Until now all of my market investments have been through 401k, or 403b type vehicles where I could continuously DCA in without paying commissions or fees. How do I invest in a Roth account without having to buy in every month? Am I missing something? Do I just save into a MM until I'm ready to buy in? Then I lose the DCA effect.
Also,
In looking at the Vanguard site, there are two types of accounts that I can open, one being a Vanguard only account, the other a more full service brokerage. I can't seem to find a list of differences between these two in terms of fees or otherwise. Any preferences there?
Any asset classes that are better off in a Roth?
I know, a bunch of questions, but I went to open the account the other day and wasn't sure I was going down the right path.
thanks,
