Ides Idea

Today isn't just the deadline for your tax return.  I got a post card last month from Fidelity month reminding me that April 15th is also the deadline for an IRA contribution.

I guess that makes sense, though I think it would be better if, like our taxable income, such contributions were cut off by the new year.

Looking at the card, I saw a small notice at the bottom:

Investing involves risk, including risk of loss.

What's this?  There's risk involved?  And that risk could even mean losing money?!  Why didn't you tell me?  You almost had me, Fidelity, but you foolishly let me know this is not an ironclad guarantee that I'll be better off.  That was a close one.
