In a traditional IRA you invest with pre-tax dollars and then when you sell the shares and extract those dollars from the IRA account you are taxed on the earnings (pretax money goes in and is only taxed when withdrawn).

In a Roth IRA you invest with after-tax dollars (they money you and i see when we cash a paycheck) BUT, when you withdraw the money after you’ve sold the stocks, you aren’t taxed on the earnings.
