There's a reason higher earners tend to reach the end of their careers with little to no money in a Roth IRA. Higher earners are often barred from funding Roth IRAs directly. And for those whose incomes are just below the limit, a traditional IRA might still seem more appealing due to the tax break on contributions.

There's a reason higher earners tend to reach the end of their careers with little to no money in a Roth IRA. Higher earners are often barred from funding Roth IRAs directly. And for those whose incomes are just below the limit, a traditional IRA might still seem more appealing due to the tax break on contributions. If you're a higher earner who's getting close to retirement, you might assume that your opportunity to fund a Roth IRA has passed. But there's a move you may be able to make in the coming years that allows you to enjoy the benefits of having a Roth IRA in retirement. Take advantage of lower-income years Even if you were a higher earner for much of your career, you may enter a period of life when your income drops. There's often a window between leaving a job and when required minimum distributions (RMDs) apply to your traditional retirement savings plans. During that time, you may be working part-time or not at all. You may be mostly living on Social Security with supplemental withdrawals from your retirement savings. Either way, if your income is lower for a few years, that gives you an opportunity to do a Roth conversion. If you have a large retirement plan balance, you may be unable to get all of it into a Roth before RMDs become mandatory. But if you can convert at least some of your savings to a Roth IRA, you can benefit from tax-free withdrawals. You'll also shield some of your nest egg from RMDs. Time your Roth conversion carefully You may have a limited window to move some of your savings into a Roth IRA. So, it's important to proceed carefully and remember that it may be unfeasible to move your savings into a Roth entirely. Remember, Roth conversions count as income. They could not only drive up your taxes but also have other implications. For one thing, they could push you over the threshold where your Social Security benefits become taxable. But to be fair, if you're living on those benefits plus retirement plan withdrawals or part-time earnin...

That's a steep reversal of fortune for a cryptocurrency that seemed to be on a rocket ship to $200,000 at the start of 2025. That's why I think Bitcoin may be oversold right now.

Thousands of demonstrators gathered in Berlin on Sunday to protest against online sexual violence and express solidarity with victims, amid heightened attention after a German celebrity came forward with allegations against a former partner. A newly formed group named Feminist Fight Club! called for protesters to assemble at the Brandenburg Gate amid a controversy over pornographic deepfakes in Germany. People held banners that read “Human rights online too” and “Turn the shame around”. Advertisement Organisers said some 500 people had registered to take part in the demonstration, titled “Against sexualised digital violence – solidarity with all victims”. In the afternoon, police put the number of participants at about 6,700, while organisers estimated 13,000 people. Advertisement Speakers highlighted the lasting impact of online abuse.

Swapping the bright Saturday night lights of the Stade de France for the rusty old Crumbie Stand can be a real mental challenge. There is certainly less demand for foie gras in Aylestone but for certain people nothing beats a constant diet of rugby. England’s Ollie Chessum did occasionally look a tad weary during another selfless 80-minute shift but a vital 33-19 Leicester win made all those hard yards worthwhile. The result not only hoists the Tigers into third place in the Prem table but Gabriel Hamer-Webb’s spectacular last-gasp try earned what could prove a vital extra point when the playoff maths are totted up. Bristol, who had been pressing for a couple of bonus points of their own, were ultimately left empty-handed and down in fifth place after a game that was never less than intense and absorbing. It was certainly an indicator of the fixture’s significance for the hosts that Chessum, named the player of the match, and Joe Heyes were invited to strap back on their battle armour with Jack van Poortvliet coming off the bench. The selection strategy ultimately paid off, helped by another influential display from fly-half Billy Searle, with the final try exemplifying the Tigers’ growing confidence. Even the head coach, Geoff Parling, was shouting at Freddie Steward to kick the ball off rather than risk handing a turnover to Bristol and allowing the visitors to claim a couple of points. Instead his players backed themselves from deep in their own half and Parling could not have been happier afterwards. “I’ve been trying for a long time to get them to play what they see and that’s what they did,” said Parling, also quick to praise Chessum’s contribution. “The Six Nations is physical but there’s also an emotional toll. It’s always a challenge for those guys when they come back after being away for eight weeks. Ollie was outstanding. He’s a big emotional leader for us.” Two no-nonsense tries within three minutes midway through the first half also helped; when they ge...

Get ready to "MOVE" Before going any further, a quick word about predictive indicators: they can't guarantee the future. While some metrics have strongly correlated with future events, predicting short-term directional moves in the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq is still more luck than science. With the above being said, one oft-overlooked volatility-based forecasting index intimates that business is about to pick up on Wall Street. Most investors are probably familiar with the CBOE Volatility Index (^VIX +11.31%)(commonly known as the "VIX"), which measures 30-day expected volatility based on S&P 500 stock options. A higher VIX reading translates into heightened projected volatility in equities. However, most investors haven't heard of the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE), or MOVE Index from Bank of America. Whereas the VIX measures expected volatility in stocks, the BofA MOVE Index measures expected volatility in Treasury yields (two-year through 30-year bonds). On Friday, March 20, the BofA MOVE Index skyrocketed 28% to close at 108.84 -- its highest close since late April 2025. It's also effectively doubled since late January. The implication is simple: bond yield volatility is increasing due to the Iran war, and the bond market is pricing in the prospect of a higher inflation rate. A historic energy supply disruption caused by Iran's virtual closure o...

Shares of TRX Gold (TRX 7.25%) are up nearly 42% so far this year, but the big question is whether the junior mining company can continue to outpace the S&P 500 or its competitors in the GDXJ Junior Gold Miners ETF. The answer to that question will depend on how matters fare at the company's sole asset, the Buckreef Gold Project in Tanzania. In its fiscal 2025, in the company's first full year of operations at the project using its new processing plant, its revenue rose 40% to $57.6 million. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose 44% to $22 million.

TRX shares' ability to generate better than average returns rests on the expansion of the Buckreef project. In its preliminary report for its fiscal 2026 second quarter (which ended Feb. 28), the company said it had record production of 7,453 ounces of gold, up 13% from the prior quarter, and record sales of 7,400 ounces.

This means investors no longer have to worry about a flood of new TRX shares hitting the market and diluting the stock. It also means the company's ownership picture is more straightforward.

Alones Creative/iStock via Getty Images Listen below or on the go via Apple Podcasts and Spotify Trump threatens Iran’s power plants if strait not open. (0:17) GameStop earnings draw focus as Cohen touts Berkshire style. (1:17) California jury finds Elon Musk misled Twitter investors . (2:15) The following is an abridged transcript: It’s a light week for economic data and earnings, meaning sentiment will remain closely tied to the conflict with Iran — and what it means for oil and interest rates. President Donald Trump said Saturday the U.S. would “obliterate” Iran’s power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened within 48 hours . Prediction markets are signaling skepticism. On Polymarket, traders assign just a 30% chance that traffic returns to normal by the end of April. Kalshi contracts imply a more gradual reopening, with about a 39% probability by May 15, rising to 53% by June 1 and 59% by July 1. The strait handles about 20% of global oil shipments. WTI crude ( CL1:COM ) ( USO ) briefly moved back above $100/bbl in weekend trading on IG Index before easing. On the Hyperliquid blockchain, oil was trading around $98/bbl. With oil putting upward pressure on inflation, expectations for Fed rate cuts this year have largely evaporated. Fed funds futures now indicate nearly a one-in-three chance that rates are higher at year-end. On the earnings front, GameStop ( GME ) is likely the headline name among a light reporting slate. There’s limited analyst coverage, so no formal consensus, but the holiday quarter update carries added weight after CEO Ryan Cohen floated ambitions to turn the retailer into a Berkshire ( BRK.A ) ( BRK.B )-style investment platform. Cohen has discussed acquiring an undervalued, high-quality public consumer company run by what he calls a “sleepy” management team. Any detail on deal size, timing, financing or potential targets would move sentiment — though management hasn’t held an earnings call in more than two years. Seeking Alpha analys...

Apple appears on track to roll out the iPhone 18 this year. 10 stocks we like better than Apple › Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has been one of the most reliable winners in the stock market for a generation. The iPhone, which debuted in 2007, was a revolutionary product, offering a touchscreen and intuitive design that made products made by BlackBerry, Nokia, and Motorola seem obsolete. How good has Apple been? Had you invested a mere $1,000 in Apple stock at the beginning of 2007 and ridden the wave of the iPhone's dominance, you'd be sitting on a nest egg of more than $82,000.

It's a rare sight for Apple to be in the red; Apple has posted a yearly loss only four times since the debut of the iPhone, with the most recent loss in 2022. So, should investors be concerned about Apple now? If you've got a long-term horizon, the answer is "no." In fact, now may be the best time to add Apple to your portfolio and profit from the inevitable bounce. What happens when Apple falls? First, let's take a closer look at the years when Apple's stock price fell (2008, 2015, 2018, and 2022), and what happened the next year.

Right now, many major cryptocurrencies are trading 50% or more below their all-time highs. Theoretically, all of them are prime candidates to double in value over the next five years, if not sooner. Here are two cryptos trading at deep-discount valuations to their all-time highs, with plenty of potential new catalysts on the way in 2026. Both are solid comeback plays. Bitcoin At $74,000, Bitcoin (BTC 2.43%) is now trading 42% below its all-time high of $126,000 from October 2025. That's a steep reversal of fortune for a cryptocurrency that seemed to be on a rocket ship to $200,000 at the start of 2025. That's why I think Bitcoin may be oversold right now. There's plenty of reason to think that Bitcoin will reclaim its all-time high from 2025, and then climb ever higher to the $150,000 price level. In fact, online prediction markets currently give Bitcoin a 12% chance of doubling in value this year to hit $150,000. Even better, Bitcoin also has a slim chance (5%) of hitting the $200,000 price level before 2027. Right now, there are two major catalysts for Bitcoin. One is the return of the "digital gold" investment thesis for Bitcoin. Suddenly, Bitcoin is a safe-haven asset, similar to physical gold. In the wake of Middle East hostilities, Bitcoin has held up admirably. It's now up nearly 10% since the launch of missile strikes on Iran. The other key catalyst is the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The thinking now is the Republican administration might be tempted to pump up the price of Bitcoin ahead of the 2026 U.S. midterm elections, in order to advance their own political ambitions. To do so, they might initiate the buying of new Bitcoin for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. That might sound implausible (or perhaps deeply cynical), but plenty of high-profile investors think it might happen, including C...

Shares of Arm Holdings (ARM +1.95%) climbed this past week, following bullish analyst commentary. According to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence, Arm's stock price rose by more than 14%. An overlooked AI winner HSBC analyst Frank Lee upgraded his rating on Arm's stock to buy. He also more than doubled his price target to $205. That implies potential gains of 55% for investors who buy shares now. Expand NASDAQ : ARM Arm Holdings Today's Change ( 1.95 %) $ 2.53 Current Price $ 132.35 Key Data Points Market Cap $141B Day's Range $ 131.42 - $ 139.95 52wk Range $ 80.00 - $ 183.16 Volume 12M Avg Vol 5.9M Gross Margin 94.84 % Lee believes Wall Street is underestimating the "game-changing" impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on Arm's business. The British chip designer has been largely reliant on the slow-growing smartphone market in recent years. Now, however, Arm stands to benefit from a forthcoming surge in AI-driven demand for high-performance server processors, according to Lee. A powerful new growth driver Graphics processing units (GPUs) have fueled the early stages of the AI boom. With their parallel processing capabilities, which enable them to break up complex computing tasks into smaller ones and execute them simultaneously, GPUs are well-suited for AI model training. Yet central processing units (CPUs), with their sequential processing, can offer energy efficiency and cost advantages for certain AI inference workloads. Inference is the use of a trained model to make a prediction or decision. Lee, in turn, estimates that Arm's server CPU royalty revenue will surge by 76% annually over the next half-decade. That would place it at about $4 billion by fiscal 2031. For context, Arm generated $4 billion in total revenue in fiscal 2025. Adding a lucrative and rapidly growing revenue stream of this size would likely drive Arm's share price sharply higher in the coming years. Lee's new price target, in turn, may prove conservative.
