I think there is a case to be made that if you want out of some investments that have a loss in a taxable account you could do Roth conversions for the loss amount. But that sounds…painful. I think there is a case where you lose an expense and could do Roth conversions for that amount without much impact on your life. For instance, if you pay off your mortgage you could do a Roth conversion for the P&I of your mortgage and not feel it too much. But my (not very confident, but it’s what I’d do) opinion is if you have the time horizon to capitalize on ROTH benefits, you’re probably better off to take whatever tax savings you are trying to utilize and stick the cash amount of the tax savings into a taxable brokerage (or increase contributions to a qualified plan if you have room). I recently made this ridiculous spreadsheet that evaluated some qualified plan options, the theory of the exercise was to maximize total assets given a set cash flow. My bias was to put everything into a Roth optioned 401K, but in point of fact, sticking it in a traditional 401K and investing the tax savings into a taxable brokerage outperformed the Roth + tax across every variable I looked at. Thats all assuming current tax rates which 493 points out could change soon. I’m not ready to take the leap on the basis of potential tax changes like 493 is suggesting, but it’s probably the smart play. The 2017 tax cuts were signify d if they go the other way Mr T predicts PAIN. But who the hell knows what will happen. I wouldn’t have predicted Trump of all people would sign off on SALT limitations and as much as democrats rail on capital gains tax they never do anything about it. So I’m not willing to eat tax on the current betting on the future with tax. But I’m almost certainly wrong. |

I was going to post this in the stock trading thread but it doesn't get as much action as this one.
I'm a skilled enough trader to know when to take a trade and when to get out. My problem at this point in life is a time crunch. Making time to scan and find setups is proving to be challenging. I just don't have the time to make this a consistent habit daily. I am willing to pay for a service that sends me stock trading alerts but there are SO MANY out there, and tons of scams. Does anyone here actually use something they find valuable? I know we have a few day traders here and I was wondering if they would share some insights for me. |

I’m talking stock trading. Paying for someone to send me setups and trade ideas. I have no problem setting trades, it’s taking the time to find good day trades or swing trades. Plenty of services that will do this but there’s so many I don’t know which are real and useful. I do plenty of basic and passive investing in other accounts, this is just for a trading account I’ve had for years. |

I haven't used their paid services, but they put out free stock tips, and every single one of them that I experimented with completely tanked. I think their free service is more of a "do the opposite of this" resource, and I've seen a few indicators that their writers are inexperienced investors at best.
That said, a friend of mine has subscribed and says that their bulletin board forum has some savvy investors in it.

Like you need a report of X indicator does Y for ABC, Inc. ? Or are you looking for screeners that will spit out ratios off financials? Companies with P/E X and debt:equity Y? |

I was in a few of them years ago, it was hit and miss, but if I remember right, I came out alright after the subscription fees. There's a lot of them out there, and some of them charge a lot. I've always wondered how profitable some of the more expensive ones were. |
