The answer to my question now is, and i have been searching, albeit distracted with my parent's 60 year old house sale:

Given the following three different tax scenarios:
* IRA,
* ROTH,
* Non Qualified, taxable account

What's the best portfolio attributes and proportion for each account to minimize future taxes and maximize gains, given all taxable implications?

I know one can create a monte carlo linear optimization model with random shocks, both income and spending random hiccups, just haven't had time to set it up and run the various scenarios. . and I am assuming that most investment mgmt houses won't publish that secret, but you have to pay for it with managed funds. .

good luck to us. .
