Dipy,
That certainly sounds wise. I posted a scenario a few weeks ago surmising that I made a mistake in transferring 3 small cap, depreciated stocks to an IRA because I probably should have sold them for cash, realized the loss, then transferred the cash to the IRA and bought the same stocks, which hopefully appreciate tax free. Alas, my original hope to take the loss on account that the transfer into the IRA would be a taxable event seems less likely if I consider the unfair scenario of transferring appreciated stocks into an IRA and whether one would have to pay capital gains on that transaction.

Thoughts on whether the IRS considers contributions to an IRA of stock a taxable event, i.e. capital gains/losses?
