You probably know it already, but the IRS and Congress have made provisions for investors to take advantage of a healthy investment climate by relaxing some of the rules. We've come a long way since 1978 when the US Congress urged Americans to save for retirement by using a unique financial product - the IRA. Millions now think of their IRAs as the happy blend of a tax shelter and a long-term savings account, without the earnings being made subject to tax.
In 1998, the Roth IRA was born, making investing more lucrative. This enabled IRA holders to give vent to their investment needs, provided the earnings they make on such investments stay within the IRA until retirement age.
Since 1998, we've acquired a few more freedoms – in the form of self-directed IRAs. This innovative approach has opened doors to options the potential of which has been nothing short of significant. It was clear that self-directed IRAs, if used properly, presented excellent vectors of investment activities. But like most good things, you have to grapple with a cocktail of rules and regulations.
