Short sales allowed in a Roth?

Are short stock sales allowed in a Roth account? If so, are there rules regarding margin interest? 😆



It appears so. See [url=http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/regs/fedreg/notices/2004009632.htm%5DPTE 75-1, Part V[/url]

The IRA agreement should be consulted, as the custodian need not permit these transactions , even if they are permitted under the tax code
