Thanks to this thread I've opened a brokerage account and am now going to fund a ROTH account for the 1st time.

The problem is how can one best choose among their current pool of diversified stocks - the one(s) most suitable for ROTH investment? - Im 41 btw

My thinking is to buy all 5G worth of 1 stock and then add another 5G in a different sector each year thereafter.

Which among my current (17) stocks would be best to pick for ROTH? Should steady eddys always edge out the more riskier plays? ie Coke, Kmb vs ATT??

On one hand people will always drink Coke and need to wipe their behinds but- the integration and ubiquity of smart phone/tablets in our lives these days makes investing in more ATT that much more tempting.

Is the better solution to spread the 5G among 5 sectors at 1G each? Continued thanks for this thread that keeps on giving.
