Summer is on the down slope. I hope as you read this, you’ve had the opportunity to feel a crisp breeze and in some way, enjoy a summer vacation. Currently, I am writing from just outside Breckenridge, Colorado on the edge of the Arkansas River. It is a beautiful day. One of those days that pioneers used to coin the term “Big Sky.” Blue with patches of white mist dotting the horizon, today Arkansas looks to have some promise and the chance to catch some big brown trout. I made the trek to Colorado because my college roommate, Ryan, has started a career in commercial real estate in the mile high city, and I never pass up the chance at unexplored wilderness.
It never ceases to amaze when a great conversation presents itself. I wanted to get it on the page and share it. After a fifteen-minute knock down drag out with a monster brown trout, Ryan posed a thought; what makes a healthy river and why, oh why, are the trout here so big? I wanted to share this comment because I laughed immediately. On the surface everyone can rationalize why something gets big. The reason trout get big is because they eat until they are bigger than anything around. Although most Americans don’t see the food they eat as the key to survival of the fittest, what if we applied the logic of survival and living in a healthy river to loosening our financial belt buckles as we age. Which financial tools can you use to make sure your finances are bigger than anything around? Continue reading →

As Self-Directed IRA Administrators, Entrust Freedom continually receives funds for client transactions. The funds originally come into the account in one of three methods: Via Contribution, Transfer, or Rollover. I think most everyone knows what an IRA contribution is. For those who are new to the IRA world, contributions are simply money that you add to the account out of your own pocket. There are limits to annual contributions which are based on your earnings and/or your age. This article will focus on the other two ways money can enter an Entrust IRA and the differences between each. Continue reading →

In fact, you can use your IRA funds to invest in the following types of Futures accounts: Self-Directed, broker-assisted, and CTA managed. Using a “Self-Directed IRA”, you can direct a portion of your retirement funds to invest in a Futures Trading Account. Continue reading →

Investors often think they cannot make deals happen because they don’t have the experience or complete capital to drive an investment. However, through the past couple of weeks I have seen more and more individuals coming together to form partnerships for sound investment opportunities.
For example, I have had discussions with many investors interested in real estate investing, however are involved in a different profession. This may discourage them from traveling down a path in which they are unfamiliar. This is a valid concern. Continue reading →
