I have opened a Roth IRA account with $2000 before the NASDAQ crash in 2000.
Now, there is little left in there. And I no longer qualify for contributing
into Roth IRA. The brokerage firm is starting to charge me for balance below
certain level or inactivity. What would my options be? Should I just close
the account and get whatever left back? And if I do that, am I going to get
penalized by early withdrawal? Please advice. Thanks.
