I transferred some depreciated stocks into a Roth IRA recently, hoping that when they rebounded, I would avoid capital gains. I am now wondering if I should have sold them, realized a loss, and then repurchased the shares in a cash invested Roth IRA 30 days later. Too late now, but can I still realize the loss because by transferring the shares to the Roth IRA, I have effectively impaired by ability to use the proceeds if I sell them???? Second-guessing
