The Daily Money
 
Wednesday, March 3

Good morning, Daily Money subscribers, and good Wednesday to you. It's Nathan Bomey once again. Last night I moderated a fascinating virtual panel on extremism for the East-West Center , where I did a fellowship in 2012. My takeaway: Radicalization is happening all around us, and we all have a role to play in thwarting it.

On to our ...

INSIGHT OF THE DAY: Did you know your child might be able to open a Roth IRA? I sure didn't. But yes, adults can open a Roth IRA on behalf of their children as long as their children have earned income in that year. Annual contributions are limited to the amount the child earned, up to a maximum of $6,000.

Now for more news ... 

1. Investing in a 401(k) can seem tricky, but your best bet is to go with something standard. Try target-date funds, index funds or managed mutual funds.

2. Bought a greeting card lately? I didn't think so. And that's what's hurting stores like Paper Source, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Tuesday. (This development reminded me of a story I wrote in 2019 on how greeting cards need a sympathy note.)

3. Your next Volvo could be electric. The Chinese-owned Swedish automotive brand announced it plans to convert its entire lineup to electric vehicles by 2030.

4. Is Rocket Companies the new GameStop? Investors eager to exact justice on short sellers have set their sights on the mortgage provider, driving its shares up sharply Tuesday.

More below.
