My thinking is that the IRA is on a "set it & forget it" long term mode (I won't really forget it of course), but I would also like a regular investment account so that I can be active. Not in the form of day trading, more in the sense that I can move things around and possibly enjoy the investments sooner if need be.
I dont personally. As i dont have the funds, nor does my 401k allow individual stocks.

BUT, if they did, then i probably would! If they are "great" stocks, then why not? Your limited in your ROTH contributions, so once you have that maxed out, put up the extra in the Investment Account. Buy the same "Great" stocks, or mix it up a bit. (Like, my roth account wont let me buy MLP stocks, so no KMP for my ROTH). So i could only get in one or the other. But as long as your diversified, i dont see no harm in it.
