Default Re: Roth IRA - Need Help

So I decided to go with Fidelity as the initial buy in only needed to be $200. Have $500 in the Fidelity Freedom 2050 which is 88% Stocks (24% Foreign), 9% Bonds, and 2% Cash, so pretty aggressive.

The way the 2050 fund works is that it is transformed the closer we get to the year 2050, moving from a more aggressive growth oriented stance to a value focused portfolio as my chosen retirement date gets nearer.

Fidelity isnt as highly regarded as Vanguard and some other investment firms, but I think the experience I will gain by getting involved early will be valuable none the less.
