NEW YORK — Investors have appeal many
options with the new Individual RetirerrtPnt
Account, but not all of them are beneficial
Some should be avoided for legal reasons,
some for financial reasons. J •
When it comes to allowable IRA invest
ments, the choices range from savings certifi
cates to stocks and bonds to annuities and
mutual funds.
But the new tax law has made made collecti
bles ineligible as IRA investments. That in
cludes gold, silver, stamps, coins, art, Anti
ques nigs, vintage wines and any oth«>r “tangi
ble perional property" that the Internal Re
venue Service specifies in its yet-to-be-drawn-
up IRA regulations.
> Life insurance is another prohibited invest
ment. So arc are investments unpaid in full.
For example, stocks can be purchased for^an
IRA account, but not those bought on margin.

Tax-exempt securities, such as municipal
bonds and All Savers certificates, can legally
be included in an IRA account, but for financial
reasons should not be. a
Interest on a tax-exempt security kept out- f
side an flfcA would never be taxed Inside an
IRA, the interest, accumulated is taxed as
ordinary income when the security is with
drawn, as is every cent withdrawn from an
IRA
That holds true for capital gains as well, and
thus carries additional implications for IRA
investment strategy
For instance, profits from the sale of stock
owned for more thaA-a year are normally eligi
ble for long-term capital gains treatment and
are taxed at a lower rate than other inco,p>e.
But in an IRA account the profits from the*
sale of stock are taxed on withdrawal like other
items in the account — at the income tax rate
and not at the special capital gains rate.

OKLAHOMA CITY Okla —
If it isn’t newborn buffalo calves
battling to survive the sub-zero
temperatures, it’s gibbons walk
ing on the frozen ponds or "wel
fare birds dropping in for a free
meal.
Lawrence Curtis, director of
the 110-acre Oklahoma City Zoo
said winter conditions bring all
manner of unique situations for
zookeepers.
While the rare snow leopards
and other cold-weather animals
were enjoying wind-t hill factors
far below zero, Curtis said a baby
( ape Buffalo bom into a freezing
work! almost did not survive.
It’s a wonder it didn’t die," he
said.
Its mother had the use of he
ated bams but chose to give birth
outside The male calf was found
Sunday morning suffering from
hypothermia.
‘In the words the veterina
rian,” Curtis said,-“it (the calf) is
defying all the laws of thermo-
dynamk-s of staying alive."*
Then there are Liz and Richard,
the Asi^n gibbons who can peer
across from their island home to a
shore they have never visited.
However, the arctic cold has built
a bridge of ice they can easily cross

Curtis recalled a previous win
ter when Harry , another gibbon,
made such a crossing.
It was during a day where then
were quite a few jieople at the
zoo, he said. “There was sortie
lady a in a very outlandish hat It
looked like a bunch of fruit on top,
and he stole her hat. I had to pay
$5.98 for that hat. "
Since Harry — who has be£A
transferred to a zoo in SwitzerlafuJ
— none of the "extremely acroba
tic, highly developed” primates
have been off the island. But
young laz and Richard are new fn
town and with the first freerie
came the attention of zookeeperif
It would be very simple fa
them to just walk across the ice to
the other shore a lew hundred
yards away, Curtis said. "Brtt
they've never done it. We're kind
of watching them ’’
Winter also brings freeloaders
to the zoo.
’"Tim time of year we have

stop here. Sometimes theyYpend.<

water, the food, the company —T

For the more exotic, pampered
fowl, there are moni luxurioyfe

Water birds get heat from th
