Thanks for the comments Bonnie Bear, I appreciate it!!

That's pretty much the way I was thinking, but might add another reason:

4) one of the main advantages of an IRA (although perhaps less so with a Roth) is the tax free/tax deferred compounding ... i.e. rather than paying taxes all along, just paying them once or never. With growth stocks (and maybe some funds?), if you invest long term (I mean truly long term like 10+years), you get much of this advantage in a normal account, and would almost be wasting the power of an IRA.

Anyway, I'm sure this is well known, but sometimes typing it up makes things clearer in my mind. Now the real trick, as always, is to find the right stocks/funds ;).

Thanks again!!
