Re: Buying a Roth with existing money in stocks (non IRA)?
I'm not an expert in this area, but I don't think you'll have any problem at all. There are no limits in the number of roth IRAs you can have as long as all of them together don't go over the max contribution you're allowed. If your current IRA is individual stocks you've picked, then you can probably get that transfered into your current IRA. If you have a mutual fund as your IRA, then you can just open a new IRA account.
If you don't sell the stocks, then you probably have some gains in them that probably need to be declared, so you'll have to be careful with that.
