I just created an IRA fund for retirement.. I am wondering what type of stocks I should put in it?
John
typically safe long term stocks. if you ask me those are for your regular portfolio and the high risk stuff should go in the IRA since you can trade them daily if you wanted without thinking of short term capital gains.

I have no idea what you just typed, it was run-on sentence galore..
Are you saying high risk stuff should be purchased for your IRA?

basically, the pros will tell you to put safe large stocks int eh ira since its for retirement. however, I am of the opinion that those belong in your regular portfolio. the risk stuff belongs in the IR since the IRA is not affected by short term capital gains tax (ie. you buy and sell as many times as you like at a profit within a short time and not have to worry about paying taxes on those gains)

I'm of the same mind-set .... I have two IRA's (one is from 2 previous jobs that I rolled over) .... 1 is low-risk, long-term reward and doesn't get touched except for my annual deposit as a tax write-off (consider it my reg portfolio) ... other one is diversified over multiple aggressive stocks, matched by my current company, and I re-evaluate the investments every couple of months to maximize gains
with some places, you can go to the website or even contact one of their people and they can give you free advice to get you started

exactly that is the other option.
john, also if you have your own business you can open a SEP IRA and put in up to 22% of you pretax profits without them being taxed until you are 65 when you take the money out of the SEP IRA

Another good thing about an IRA, you can take out up to $10,000 without a penalty on the purchase of your first home. Unfortunately I didn't have an IRA when I bought my condo, so I no longer have that option
