Well, my budget for next year just got skinnier. Apparently IRA contribution limits are going up from $3,000 to $4,000! Investing Dopers, am I totally the last to know?

Oh, yeah, while I’m here… anyone got any hot stock tips?

Did anyone else think that we were being invited to donate to the rather angry Irish dudes?Is their treasury for buying arms a little on the lean side at present?

Are you looking for something like [this?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=288756)

If you get any new info, let me know. I still want to interfere with the calm that seems to be holding for now.
