IRA / 401K Information Sheet...


IRA and 401k's Backed by Gold Coins

Individuals as well as Institutions are placing physical gold in IRA accounts. With the global economic environment growing more and more uncertain, gold has become one of the leading alternative's for IRA, 401k, 403b, and Pension Plan preservation.

The performance of physical gold IRA and 401k accounts have outperformed most traditional retirement account(s) since 2000. With precious metals up more than 300% since 2000 wouldn't it make smart money sense to transition your portfolio where it can be treated well?

If you had purchased $25,000 of gold bullion coins in the early 70's and held on to it during the oil crisis, inflation, devaluation of the U.S. dollar, Savings and Loan scandal, recession, tech and internet bubble, cooked books, 911, and a real estate bubble you could sell that gold today for $524,999.00*.

If you had purchased $25,000 of limited mintage investor gold coins over the same time line, you could sell that gold today for $1,377,257.00**.

Gold is the ultimate asset. It is the purest form of money, and the oldest, most durable wealth-preserving asset on the planet. Governments can't devalue it, man cannot manufacture it, it cannot be counterfeited and it is limited and finite in its supply. It has no debts, no board of directors, no politicians or central bankers that can alter its value. It hasn't a face and does not find favoritism with any race. That's why gold has survived every economy history has ever witnessed and preserved purchasing power over a span of more than 5000 years.

Q. What economic conditions contribute to a safe and profitable gold backed IRA?

A. Negative economic, political, environmental, or monetary conditions that become devalued in any fiat economy contribute to a rising gold price. This is the reason gold has always been referred to as the "crisis commodity."

The following trends weaken stocks and other paper investments and usually cause the price of gold to rise:

-War and debt of War
-Inflation/ Stagflation

-Recession/Depression
-Rising Oil and Gas prices
-Weakness in the U.S. dollar and/or other currencies weighed against the $US
-Federal and Local Budget deficits
-Stock and bond market meltdowns/ uncertainty of future investment's
-FDIC watchdog list/alert caused by Bank instability/failure
-Defaults on private and public loans

-IMF with too many defaulted loans outstanding

It's no wonder why investors the world over are gravitating to such a stable and profitable vehicle. There is a time to be in stocks or paper, that time has passed. IT IS NOW TIME FOR PRECIOUS METALS.

Q. What type of gold can be held in my IRA?

A. The United States government currently allows Gold American Eagles and Gold proof American Eagles in IRA's.

Gold American Eagles are mass produced bullion coins for general circulation. The value of these gold bullion coins is tied to the gold price. The price of gold fluctuates moving up and down like a heart monitor. This fluctuation in the price is directly tied to investors that buy and sell in an attempt to take advantage of the price volatility much like day traders. Under the Executive Order of 1933 issued by FDR, gold bullion coins are subject to confiscation by the U.S. government during times of national crisis. Gold American Eagles are instantly liquid.

The U.S. Mint specifically having retirement accounts in mind designed gold proof American Eagles. Proof Gold has a limited supply. Each year only a certain number of gold proof coins are produced resulting in a scarcity which may cause them to outperform the generic American Eagles 1.5 to 2 times. The Gold proofs are exempt from confiscation under the Executive Order of 1933. Each proof American eagle is delivered to your storage facility with its own official U.S. Mint Certificate of Authenticity. These gold coins have "United States Government Backing" which, like the dollar, means they are recognized and accepted in major investment markets around the world. This gold is also instantly liquid, and are one of the only Numismatic coin(s) recognized by the US Mint to be held in an IRA.

Q. Do I get the gold?

A. Taking possession of your gold is qualified as a distribution. Under that circumstance, the IRS requires that a possible penalty and the appropriate taxes be paid.

Clients that want to take advantage of a gold IRA use an already designated specialized precious metals depository for the storage of gold. The depository offers a secure safekeeping service and provides easy access for the physical delivery of your gold.

Q. How will my gold be physically stored?

A. When your precious metals are shipped to the depository, the shipment will be opened and the contents inspected. After inspection and verification your metals are individually stored with your account data and number attached. This ensures you will receive the exact material as was deposited when you decide to sell, exchange, or take an in-kind distribution (take personal possession of the material) of your gold.


Q. Is gold the only asset I can hold in my IRA?

A. Absolutely not. Your precious metal IRA is self-directed which means you have complete control over how you allocate the funds within your IRA. Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds, and Money Market accounts are all acceptable, just to name a few.

Q. Do I get a statement on a regular basis?

Yes. Statements are sent out regular mail on a quarterly basis.

A. What are the fees for establishing a self-directed gold IRA?

The fees are as follows:

One time establishment fee: $15

First year annual fee: $60

First year Storage Fee: $100

Total Start-up cost: $175

Annual Renewal Fee: $60

Annual Storage Fee: $100

Re-occurring Annual Fees: $160

Q. How long does it take to get my IRA or 401k rolled over into gold?

A. The process from start to finish can generally take from 5 to 31 business days due to volatility and availability of your desired precious metal. Our team of retirement account specialists works with your existing custodian to expedite your transfer or rollover.
