- yummyfajitas 11y agoThe IRA is the place to make highly volatile investments that might incur large capital gains taxes. In contrast, your ordinary brokerage is the place for buy&hold + occasional rebalance.

- yummyfajitas 11y agoI run some frequently traded strategies as a hobby (i.e., time spent >> my salary). My strategy is profitable (15-20% returns) though not scalable. The IRA is the perfect place for these, due to the tax implications.
