<prompt> Human: Does it make a difference whether I buy stocks andor bonds in different investments accounts 401kIRAtaxable?For example, should I buy stocks in my retirement accounts and bonds in my taxable account? or does it not matter?Thanks!  <response>: The other way around. Generally, for tax reasons, its better to hold bonds in tax advantaged accounts. This is because they usually dont pay qualified dividends. Municipal bonds can be safely held in taxable accounts.
