[quote=no_such_reality]Why, your transaction cost is actually higher in the stocks unless you’re trading in a 401K or IRA

On a cash deal, the transaction cost runs around 6%. If you’ve live in the home 2 years, it’s tax free.

Sell you stock for a 30% gain and you’ll pay 30% of the 30% (9%) in taxes.[/quote]

Yes, I am trading mainly in IRA.
