I have an old 401k account from a company I no longer work for. I am looking to transfer the money in a traditional IRA account that I can leave in for the next 20 years.

The place you chose to put the money depends on your goals and your level of risk taking. You can rollover, with no tax implecation to any type of account. I recommend an Qualified IRA Fixed Annuity. Good interest rates, safe, and if you go directly through the company, and not a broker no fees!

Let me know if I can help

there is no such thing as high yield IRA. IRA is a type of account. You can fund it with anything... well almost anything you want.

I also would be very careful about "leaving something for 20 years" every portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example our beloved Dow Jones Index has not gained a penny if invested in January 1965 and cashed out in October 1982.

I would take all the stories about market always going up with a grain of salt.

Mid cap value, EAFE index, commodity index, should always be in your portfolio. Use ETF's to get exposure. Cost control is the key.

good luck

The last places to put your IRA Rollover monies are banks and insurance companies. Big mistake. Buy a couple of books on retirement investing. Learn "asset allocation". You don't have to be an expert to do better than a bank (over a 20 year period).

Roth is for retirement savings. at first, it is not a savings account. you won't be able to take out the income till you're sixty 5 years old. (you may take out the crucial, so it is style of a no-yield savings account) Secondly, it quite is a brokerage account - meaning you nonetheless would desire to compliment a thank you to speculate the money. Leaving it in funds won't earn lots activity in any respect.
