Can you trade on margin and short stocks in your self directed IRA?
According to IRA regulations, if any part of an IRA is used as collateral, the entire IRA is considered to be distributed. Distribution of such accounts are subject to income taxes and an additional penalties. This is important because margin accounts require that you pledge your account as collateral. Your attempt to convert an IRA account into a margin account will nullify it's "qualified" status. It is for this reason that investment firms will not provide margin for a retirement account. Also, because shorting stocks requires the use of a margin account you can not invest in this way either. If you wish to short stock you must open a standard margin account that is not a qualified retirement account.

No, the inherited funds (beneficiary IRA) have to remain in inherited (beneficiary) form.

However, the deceased account can be transferred into the surviving spouse Roth IRA (or transfer to a beneficiary IRA account). A non-spouse doesn't have this option- they can only transfer to their beneficiary IRA account that they opened.
