Rich Dad Radio Show: In-Your-Face Advice on Investing, Personal Finance, & Starting a Business

A self-directed individual retirement account (SDIRA) is a type of individual retirement account (IRA) that can hold investments that a typical IRA cannot, such as precious metals, commodities, and real estate. Today's guests debate the pros and cons of a self-directed IRA and who should invest in such a vehicle. John Bowens, Sr. Retail Sales Manager and National Educator for Equity Trust Company says, "The first mistake investors make is trusting a 3rd party." A custodian isn't going to do its due diligence to ensure it's a safe and sound asset. The investor in a self-directed IRA acts as their own financial planner. Tom Wheelwright, Rich Dad Advisor on Taxes says, "You have a lot more freedom, but it also brings a lot more responsibility with it." Wheelwright goes on to explain from a tax position, the benefits and downsides of an IRA. Hosts Robert and Kim Kiyosaki and guests John Bowens, Jeff Desich, and Tom Wheelwright discuss the pros and cons of a self-directed IRA, and how to avoid the biggest mistakes people make with IRAs.

"The bull walks up the stairs and the bear jumps out the window." Seasoned investors know better. They know that markets always go up and down.
