HJ... I thought if you had a sizeable IRA with one of the full service firms, you could do more than just go long? I don't know. I have a small one with discover I opened as a Roth just last year so I don't ask for any special priviledges because its a small account. I'm trying to be agressive with it though because I like the Roth tax rules.. I had jnpr at 160 and just sold so that was a good trade, however right now I think the mkt is declining a little and you're right I'm stuck!
