Pep - how does that make sense? Why don't you just buy it in your traditional IRA; you wont get the tax hit now and will have more $ to buy more shares? Plus aren't you limited to how much you can put into a Roth ($6k or so) assuming your income is below a certain level?

I guess if you are in a very low tax bracket now it could work, but is it enough to offset the 'huge' expected gain from the additional shares you would be able to purchase in the IRA instead of the upfront taxes on the Roth conversion?
