re: Roth IRA investing

My recommendation would be to buy stock in companies that make money and products that you enjoy. For example, in my Roth right now I own stocks like Sirius, Pandora, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (own Keurig), and Coinstar (own Redbox). I am in no way endorsing any of those stocks, just trying to give you an idea of how I approach it. It is riskier than a target date fund, but more risk could equal more reward.
