With uncertainty in the U.S. economy, the devaluation of the dollar, and rising government spending, many people are looking to invest in
precious metals, such as gold and silver. According to economic experts, the current economic problems are expected to continue through 2010. Historically, investments in precious metals tend to rise when the value of the dollar and other commodities fall.
Unlike conventional
IRAs that are limited to traditional stocks and bonds, an
Entrust self-directed IRA allows you to invest in such assets, also known as
alternative investments. If you are interested in investing in precious metals, consider opening a self-directed IRA today and start building the value of your retirement account during these tough economic times.
Entrust offers a wide array of self-directed retirement accounts. For more information, contact us at (916) 509-7271.

Your financial planners/advisors and other financial professionals have always emphasized the importance of diversifying your investment and retirement portfolio. But are your investments and retirement portfolios TRULY as diverse as they should be? Diversification isn’t just relative to high versus low risk investments.
A truly diverse retirement portfolio goes well beyond stocks, bonds, mutual funds, CD’s and level of risk. In addition to the traditional forms of investments there are alternative investments that you should consider such as:
Real Estate (residential, commercial, raw land, etc….)
Offshore Real Estate
Private Notes
Private Stock
Precious Metals
Foreign Currency
LLC’s
Futures & Commodities
If you are seeking to truly diversify your retirement portfolio you should consider some of these options.
The storm within the stock market has not completely subsided. With the institutional banks still in crisis and the U.S. automakers on the brink of collapse, there may still be more upcoming losses to endure in the stock market. Take back control of your retirement dollars and invest in what you know through an Entrust Self-Directed IRA account.
To start taking advantage of these investment options call me at
