I would say about 1/2 the stocks that my IRAs have I also have money invested in them outside of my retirement accounts. I'm buying up as much oil stocks I can afford every month.

IRA and the stock market ie oil is 2 different stocks. One is more of a risk and the other is a long term gain Mutual funds. Mutual funds and stocks oil r 2 different investments

IRA / 401k / mutual fund allow you to spread risk out over multiple areas(diversity)
Buying stock in one company has zero diversity. Most people don't have the time or knowledge to sit down and look at individual stocks. So using a mutual fund, 401k or IRA with suggested investments based on risk tolerance helps them to find success or just feel more confident. The majority of people have no clue what they are invested in thru thier 401k , IRA or mutual funds..... They just hope it all works out. Retirement plan 101.... Save money , pray it is enough someday to retire. |

Huh? Ok here we go, when you retire most people rollover their 401K into a traditional IRA, it may consist of individual stocks, mutual funds, bond funds, etc. and cash. Within this IRA you can buy & sell within the account, (as long as you have the cash in there to cover the buy order) without any tax implications until you take a distribution, which will be taxed as ordinary income, even if you don't sell the stock or mutual fund, but instead transfer it out into a brokerage acct. same difference. Whereas in a non IRA brokerage acct. you're trades held over 1 yr. are long term (taxed at 15 pct. for most people) less than a yr. is. taxed as ordinary income, but in the non IRA you're able to offset some of your gains with losses, can't do in an IRA.

Let me clarify, I guess I should have been more detailed, I have a lot of ETFs in both of my IRAs, (I have 2 IRAs, one swap over from an old 401 as well a self contributing IRA) as well I have invested outside of IRAs in ETFs, Specifically the XLE ETF.
I monitor my ETF investments daily (easy to do with todays smart phones.) Ironically the ETFs I have invested in outside of my IRAs are some of the same ones I have in my IRAs, so I am able to monitor them both by watching a few ETFs I can make changes with one phone call minute by minute. With smart phones its easy to follow by the day, hour minute. here a few screen shots of my phone |
