Andrew:                              00:58                     Hello.



Dave:                                    01:00                     Excellent.
Good job. All right, moving on. Hello. I have been following your podcast for
months and just recently signed up for your service. I noticed you’re using
your Roth IRA for your stock recommendations and tracking your 40 year
portfolio. I understand the benefits of using a Roth to avoid taxes but is
absolutely unnecessary for the goal of your slash our investing. My Roth is
being utilized with an advisor service from vanguard. So it was not available
for individual stocks. I’m using a separate, separate taxable brokerage account
for my stock picking. Would this still be beneficial in the long run with
having to pay taxes yearly on dividends and capital gains are selling if in a
taxable brokerage? Thank you Jared. Andrew, what are your thoughts on this?
