Self Directed IRA's

We're all looking for ideas on how to expand our areas of expertise. The self directed IRA's seem to be a great vehicle for those who are disenchanted with the stock market...not that they want to dump everything invested but, to perhaps diversify a bit and move their monies around a bit.

It looks as thought, historically, it's taken years,10 or more, for the stock market to rebound to even a break even position. Where, if we self direct our IRA monies...and leverage a bit, we immediately recoup a significant position? Am I all wet?

I sincerely would appreciate some comments on this process. I'm excited to learn more and...I am!!! I look to increase my business this year with quite a few of the IRA investors....Interesting stuff.

Don't you just love this diverse business? I do! Let me know if you have experience in these investments...good, bad or indifferent. Thanks, Robin
