<prompt> Human: The title should actually read PARTIAL IRA Withdrawal at 59 12.I will be turning 60 Sept 2016. I have an IRA which hasnt been performing well my investing mistake by not doing something about it, but thats another story.I am thinking about pulling a portion of money from the IRA to reinvest in a good dividend paying stock GE. The amount I withdrawal from the IRA, wont put me in a different tax bracket.Reason, I want additional income from the stock dividends, plus as this is a poorly performing IRA and factoring in my age, Im wanting to try to pry myself away from this IRA. I would certainly appreciate any advise or insight from the more experienced investors.  <response>: You could also roll the IRA to a brokerage account and buy any stocks you please inside of it.
