You can do managed accounts with most providers. They take a small % but normally meet or exceed industry averages. This way you can blame somebody else when it fails miserably :(

There's a website called FutureAdvisor that was recently recommended to me that basically manages your IRA (and other investment accounts) for you. I haven't used it yet but I know people who like it.

I think it's something like:

1) put all yer money in a IRA
2) forget about it for 30 years
3) retire and live like a king
4) die

I think there's some part where you have to choose investments too.

@wxwill @broox @cgansen my mom runs investment websites for big banks and always says to use the target date funds. e.g. TRRMX

IPA's are a lot easier to figure out.

Probably traditional.

I can make it easy for you. Just send your contributions to my IRA!
