The only thing you could ask your broker about is if you were to be able to get physical certificates from Joe, then try to make a Roth IRA contribution using the physical certificate as your contribution. As an example, say you had 10 shares of Apple stock with a value of $3180.00. That could be allowed as your Roth IRA contribution ($6K or $7K max depending on your age). However NGIO has no value so theoretically you could put in 100K shares with no value and be allowed. I just don’t know if you can get NGIO certificates since it is book entry only right now and if your broker would allow it. Hmm I may have to contact TDA tomorrow and ask about that for myself. Move my NGIO from my NQ acct to my Roth IRA
