been a while since I practiced accounting but in the past you could roll some retirement plans into others and then take out a loan against it. A real crapshoot would be to take out a loan and buy phiz. I noticed APMEX has some gold and silver bars that qualify for retirement plans. I don’t know if you can still do a self-directed plan. I had my Roth ira in the Franklin precious fund. I got out with a good return just by sheer luck.
check out the APMEX site. I think the bars have to be “stackable” for some reason.
get back with me if you don’t find the answers you want.
