[net.invest] short term ira's

3211jsr (01/28/83)

The February 1983 Creative Computing magazine has an article
describing using visi-calc to predict the short term performance
of IRA's.  The calculations I've done and what this article shows
is that given a high tax bracket and a high interest rate an IRA
can break even in as little as 3.5 to 4 years.  I want to look into
the effect of increasing tax brackets over the years to see how much
effect that has on the break even period.
