You could be hit with capital gains taxes on a brokerage account at any time if you are buying/selling, right?


This is a good point. So with the traditional IRA, I could be buying and selling without a tax hit, and then I am only hit on taxes as income when I withdraw, I think…

So no capital gains tax implications along the way to retirement.

Am I understanding that part correctly?

Yep, you can buy/sell as much as you want, don’t have to worry about it til distribution when you cash out, then pay tax… unless you can convert to roth
