re: Is it bad to open an IRA through your bank..

"Target date" and "target retirement" funds are basically the same thing. Usually they are a mix of the firm's US stock and bond index funds. As you get closer to the target date the mix shifts more toward bonds.
This isn't perfect (there's a lot going on in the world besides just US stocks and bonds) but IMO it is pretty reasonable for those who have no idea what to do.

Sounds good, that's what I'll do.
What makes a Roth IRA markedly better than a Target date fund?

Vanguard's 2050 fund allocates 27% to Vanguard's Total International Stock Index, which itself is composed as a mix of Europe, Pacific, and emerging markets.
