Bad I was not informed that the form I had sent was dated too far out. I called to investigate why it hadn't processed yet.

I had no idea what I was doing when I was looking for information on a self directed IRA and Jay gave me great advice. I feel like I'm in good hands.

One month!
June 25, 2020

One month!

One frustrating month. One disappointing result after another. I gave up hope of finding a better way.

In 2017, I started investing in cryptocurrencies. The money I used was my own. 50+ investments later I now feel comfortable to invest my retirement assets in the space too.

Nevertheless, the Bitcoin-IRA providers of the world made me feel dumb. They not only want you to pay outrageous transaction fees ranging from 6%-12%, but also want you to pay them an annual custody fee of %1 of your assets under management. They then try to convince you that it's a great deal. Yes, it's a great deal for them, not for you, the investor.

Cryptos can increase in value by thousands of a percent - turning a $100 investment into $30,000. Make ten $100 investments and you're paying custody fee of $10 today. Yet tomorrow, you could pay $3000. Ouch!

Even if you were to sell your crypto, you're still sitting with $300K in cash inside your retirement account that you still have to pay the annual custody fee for. If you're not close to retirement, and made no other winning investments, your $300K gets eaten away until it's gone.

Broad Financial makes you feel amazing. It doesn't insult your intelligence. It exercises simple common sense. It gives you the power to establish a trust that lets you not only take ownership of your retirement accounts, but also invest those accounts in whatever you'd like.

The only fee is a one time setup fee of <$1000 (legal work) and an annual maintenance fee of $149 / year. Paying ~$150 / year is a fair price for this awesome new superpower.

Thanks Noah Grodko, Joel Galkin, and the rest of the Broad Financial team!
