The only thing you could ask your broker about is

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
