Hello,

I am thinking about transferring my loser Tech. Fund presently in my Roth IRA to another more stable fund. I was wanting to know if I could write off the amount that was lost due to the downturn of the market.

Thanks for any advice,

Zane

When I said transfer, I meant transferring the current fund into another fund but keeping it within the Roth IRA.
