Default Re: Rollover IRA Question (x-post)

Thanks. One other question, if you have the time. I meet the criteria to make the maximum contribution to the IRA. Is there any sense in selling $4,000 of stock and putting it in the IRA (since it's tax-deductible)? I know I'll pay taxes on the stock gains after I sell it, but a $1,000 deduction far outweighs the amount of taxes I'd pay on certain gains. Does this make any sense at all?
