I opened a money markey IRA, and was going to converit it to a Roth IRA (im 23) and have rolled my $3,500 from my 401K into my new IRA. When will I have to pay taxes on my $3,500 and when will I pay taxes on my new contributions? Im not sure if I should keep the money market, or change to the Roth. Thanks!

I’m 25 years old and yes I have money in the stock market and I currently transferred my money into bonds this week and have not lost a single cent, not sure for the long term if this will be effective as it was this week. Thank you for your help.

One of the reasons I asked was also because I’m still a rookie at investing and wanted to hear some opinions. I’m as green as can be when it comes to stock market investing, and I understand people lost lots of money, but is the drop really a reason to be nervous? I understand it’s a sign there might be a change in the lending market, but is this a reason to be nervous about investing in the stock market or to start trading all your stocks? I mean it’s not like the America is an unstable country. It’s no reason to start pulling all of your money out of the stock market, right? This is a proven market that should stabilize itself in a while, no? Is this just an opportunity to buy cheap stocks?

Chime in on the stock market plunge?
