IRA Investment Guide: A Road Map for Avoiding the Traps and Penalties for IRA Investments

Investing Your IRA in Gold, Real Estate, and More

Which assets are allowed, and which aren’t

You’re supposed to diversify your investment portfolio. You want to protect it from bear markets, inflation, deflation, and more.

What many IRA investors don’t know is Congress and the IRS built obstacles on the road to diversification.

For example:

• Your IRA is supposed to be tax-exempt, but some investments cause your IRA to be taxed.
• Your IRA can’t own certain assets without paying a penalty.
• Some transactions can trigger penalties, even causing your IRA to lose its tax-exempt status.

Traditional investments in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds won’t cause problems. But venture into hard assets or nontraditional assets and strategies, and you’ll need to pull out the rule book.

Often, your IRA custodian won’t warn that you’re heading into dangerous waters. It’s not the custodian’s job to give you investment or legal advice. Most tax and financial advisors also aren’t aware of the all the rules and restrictions in the tax code. You need to learn the rules on your own and have them handy before making new investments.

My report provides the roadmap you need to avoid the many dangers for IRA investors. You’ll learn:

• The three major ways investors trigger catastrophes for their IRAs.
• You can’t own gold in your IRA, or can you? There are loopholes in the prohibition of owning gold and other collectibles.
• When exchanged-traded funds (ETFs) can be dangerous investments.
• How ETFs are different from ETNs (exchange-traded notes).
• When you can use IRA funds to invest with or provide financial help to a loved one, and when you can’t.
