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 would NOT do that.... the key to being diversified has little to do with what account what is in... it has more to do with TOTAL INVESTABLE FUNDS -- and then keeping each investment (per name) to 5% or less....


Don't ever get complacent with a set and forget.... it's more like set - REVIEW - ADJUST - and keep them employees WORKING at all times.
