Still haven't funded '07 Roth. Now a good time?

WharfRat+ · Feb 5, 2008

Trying to time the market on a downswing before I wire the $8,000 for my wife's and my Roth IRA. After a giant dip today I'm thinking now may be the time.

Do you guys think it will really go much lower as we head to the April 15 deadline or should I just pull the trigger now and not worry about it.

I would Dollar Cost Average in. Rough estimate would be $2k every 2 weeks until deadline.

just put the 8 gs in the money market(cash) inside your Roth and move from cash into your investments as you see dips.

Interesting LIne Tamer. Have never thought of that. Is it as simple to do as it seems?

Thanks.

yes, its that simple...you can move money around inside your roth as you see fit.

just direct your investment into the core account or cash position.
