I have seen postings that some can transfer stocks and other financial assets from their IRA to an investment account. Obviously the tax on the IRA withdrawal will be due and I expect that the new account will start with a current valuation, no way to carry over the original aquisition value. So it seems like all this does is hold an asset one may like and maybe keep an AA but is it different than just taking out cash from the IRA and buying whatever fits the AA or is needed for expenses? Is there any particular value to transfering in kind?
