Nobody can have the right answer for this question because it all depends.
As you pointed out - if it goes to the moon and makes you a millionaire -- then inside the ROTH would be the best place!
But some people don't have ROTH IRA's --- and some don't have self directed 401's etc.
FORGET ABOUT TAXES... they don't count. Making money counts. If you make some - you pay taxes - be happy about that. Dead serious here. I don't do ANYTHING because it might have a possible taxable event. I do things to just make as much money as humanly possible. They get a small percentage -- I keep the rest!

If we were to "gamble" on something like Alibaba, or GoPro, etc. Which account would be best to do this in? A Personal Brokerage account or within a ROTH IRA?
I'm guessing a PB account. If it fizzles out it could be counted as a loss. But then again, if it goes to the moon, it wont be taxed in the ROTH, but then its also tied up for another 30 years... heh.
I'm not sure that even a question we can really answer.. But maybe just discuss and we'll have to weigh our own options individually.
