The problem with holding TMO shares in an IRA is the following: at any moment my IRA is almost always fully invested. How can you exercise rights with no available cash(and no ability to go onto margin). I guess you could just sell the rights for a nominal amount. Still, I think we have identified a good strategy for an IRA but am concerned about the high costs. Studies have shown that costs like this (2+% a year) make it almost imossible to achieve good returns over a long period of time since each year you give them 2% regardless of the return. Bruce
