I've been dragging my feet for a while out of ignorance, am eyeballing a few of the different places to roll my traditional IRA to, hopefully before the shit totally hits the fan.
Just looking for any recommendations, tips, etc.
Here are some that I am looking at:
this would support BRIGTEON: https://treasureislandcoins.com/iras
this one via gab ads: https://www.401k.gold
or goldwithseth.com which supports Man in America
The only way to get true control over retirement account assets is to have a 401k that has an independent custodian, which allows any investment that is not strictly prohibited.
The way to do this is:
(1) Set up your own small business. Does not matter what type of business. Just make sure it has a few hundred dollars in revenue.
(2) Your new company (which you own) sets up a 401k plan, for you as the sole employee.
(3) You then roll over your IRA (and any other 401k) to your new 401k.
(4) The new 401k with independent custodian can invest in anything that is not specifically prohibited (can invest in stocks, gold, cryptos, real estate and can even use mortgage financing that IRA's cannot do without paying a tax penalty).
(5) Ideally, have the 401k own a single-member LLC, and use the LLC for investing. That way, you don't have to involve the 401k custodian every time you want to do something with the investments.
These guys have a great website for info, and can set things up (for a reasonable fee):
