Colin, I have a similar question regarding deferring capital gains: If I sell a stock in a "regular (non IRA related)" account for a profit and then buy a different stock in the same account with all of the proceeds, can I defer the capital gain on that transaction? Someone was telling me they thought it might be possible, using the concept that applies (or did apply) to the selling of a house that is an investment and then being able to roll those gains over to a like type of investment within a stated time period. Thanks, Jeff
