Where does bitcoins fit in?
@manch, which brokerage is giving you margin loan with interest lower than mortgage? Fidelity charges 8% interest.
Interactive Brokers.
Thanks. Will check them out.
Does Interactive Brokersā IRA accounts offer forex trading? Iāve been trying to find one without jumping through hoops.
Short answer: Forex? 
Long answer: I donāt know.
How come this way? Your AAPL is within 30% only?
Whatever I heard simple thumb rules is
Age % = Bonds,
100 - Age % = Stocks
Example, 70 years old means 70% bonds, 30% stocks.
Thanks @Jil, but can you trade forex with IBās IRA account? I donāt see this specifically mentioned anywhere on the web site (Iām assuming the link you shared is for the regular brokerage account). Iāve been trying to find one for the longest time. Not too impress with Oandaās platform. I miss FXCMā¦
How do you sleep at night trading Forex? Itās traded around the clockā¦
Just for info only. I donāt follow any models because I donāt have bonds.

I havenāt been too active in 2017 from a forex perspective but 2016 was great due to Brexit. Itās all about expectations on central bank rate decisions. You donāt need to stare at it 24/7.
You can call the IB people. I did once and they have been pretty responsive.
I think you can. I remember it when I setup my IRA account with them. I havenāt traded forex though.
OK, who owns 30% bonds? Raise your hand.
