Absolutely, stocks, etc. in IRA’s are the best w

Etrade lets you put penny stocks like SFOR in IRA’s, but I don’t know about other brokers.
Under age 50 you are permitted to make a maximum annual direct contribution to a Roth IRA of $5,500. If you are over 50, the annual contribution limit is $6,500.
However, the amount of money you can contribute annually must be based on annual earned income from a job/work. For a $5.5k contribution, you must make at least $5.5k that year from work. So obviously, you want to make these contributions while you are young and still working.
However, here’s the catch:
I am retired, and all my income comes from social security and investments. So, since I have no work income, I am prevented from making any annual contributions (of $6.5k) to my Roth IRA.
