Your Money: When investing, consider the how over the what

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:01:55 GMT

Bruce Helmer and Peg WebbPeople always seem more concerned with where they invest than with how to invest.They get hung up on what stock, what bond, or what mutual fund to own, and worry about whether they need to be in or out of the market. Instead, in the long run, strategies are far more important than specific tools or tactics. Here are five key areas where it can be beneficial to be more strategic rather than investment-focused, and why.Roth IRA and Roth conversionsAlthough more Americans own far more traditional individual retirement accounts (IRAs) than Roth IRAs, the tax benefits of a Roth IRA are likely to be a far greater influence on wealth accumulation than the investments you choose. That’s because, with a traditional IRA, you can lose almost a third of your withdrawals to federal taxes. With a Roth IRA, you make contributions after paying taxes but enjoy tax-free growth and tax-free qualified withdrawals. Plus, traditional IRAs have required minimum distributions (RMDs...

Keeler: Urban Meyer on CSU, Jay Norvell, Steve Addazio, and why Rams are a sleeping giant: “(CSU is) the best job in that conference.”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:01:55 GMT

BOULDER — When Urban Meyer sees this Rocky Mountain Showdown up close, he sees a sleeping giant, snoring a Mile High, just waiting for the right little poke.He also sees the Buffs.“You know, both of my daughters were born in Fort Collins,” Meyer said to me as we walked off Fox Sports’ “Big Noon Kickoff” set at Farrand Field. We huddled just a few blocks away from the 2023 Showdown, a game he coached in twice as a Rams assistant in ’92 and ’95. (Both in Boulder. Both losses.)As much as CU needed a Deion Sanders, CSU sure could use a transformative, what-the-heck, look-at-me, America-can’t-stop-talking-about-you hire like …  I dunno, Urby. Now don’t get me wrong: Jay Norvell could sure as heck be that guy.But we also live in a world of instant gratification, for better or for worse. And Coach Prime had almost as many victories after two games with the Buffs going into Saturday night (two) as Norvell did after his first 13 gam...
