Self Directed IRA Custodian Sunwest Trust And Republic Monetary Exchange Announce Partnership

Albuquerque, New Mexico ( PressReleaseCollection ) December 4, 2009 - The New Mexico based <a href="http://www.sunwesttrust.com">self di-rected IRA</a> firm Sunwest Trust (www.SunwestTrust.com) announced today that they have reached an arrangement with Republic Monetary Exchange (www.RepublicMonetary.com), a leading precious metals broker based in Phoenix, Arizona. Under their arrangement, Sunwest Trust will provide exclusive self directed IRA custodian services for Republic's client investment accounts, de-scribed by Jim Clark, CEO of Republic Monetary Exchange as a "win-win sit-uation for our clients". For Sunwest, this partnership represents an extension of the firm's IRA custodial and escrow services to the precious metals market, a move likely to be adopted by an increasing number of firms in the financial services sector. "Consumers are becoming interested in investment vehicles which are less vul-nerable to the ups and downs of the stock market. We're seeing a lot of new IRA accounts at Sunwest from clients who want to purchase gold and other precious metals inside their IRA portfolios. Until 2007 it was primarily real estate, but now we're starting to see an increase in the number of gold or precious metal backed accounts," said Terry White, CEO of Sunwest Trust. With a growing concern among the public about the possibility of inflationary pressures driving down the value of their IRA accounts and other investments, the number of consumers choosing to invest in gold, silver and other precious metals has been steadily increasing over the past few years, with brokers like Republic Monetary Exchange gaining market share in the financial services sector rapidly. The relative stability of gold and other precious metals makes them an especially popular investment in a sluggish economy, especially when compared to traditional stock and securities investments. Given the uncertain economic outlook for at least the next few quarters, Sunwest Trust Inc. and Republic's new relationship looks to be one, which is certain to attract investors looking for stable retirement investment vehicles such as the self directed IRA or a gold-backed IRA account. About Sunwest Trust: Sunwest Trust <a href="http://www.SunwestTrust.com">www.SunwestTrust.com</a> is one of a few companies in the entire country that will act as custodian for a completely self directed IRA. About Republic Monetary Exchange: The offices of Republic Monetary Exchange are located in Phoenix, Arizona. Re-public Monetary Exchange <a href="http://www.RepublicMonetary.com">www.RepublicMonetary.com</a> is a leading gold, silver and precious metals brokerage company that offers confidential and sound advice to clients interested in building a strong investment portfolio.

The Real Estate IRA Is No Longer Your Grandma's Retirement Plan

Austin-San Marcos, Texas ( PressReleaseCollection ) November 13, 2009 – With the stock market constantly proving itself to be unstable, investors are turning to another method of investing for their retirement. <a href="http://www.IRALLCPartner.com">Truly Self Directed IRA</a> is a company that is providing new options for investors by giving them safety from the volatile nature of today's stock market. While some critics of this type of plan have stated that the market always bounces back, the current recovery is seen as a reaction to the government stimulus plan and, therefore, is not sustainable. Investors are now looking for alternatives to the market and many of these people believe that real estate IRA is the way to go. Josh Moore of Truly Self Directed IRA states that "there has been a significant increase in the number of real estate IRA deals being done." This bodes well for the future of this type of investments, "as many people are now choosing this method over the stock market," Moore adds. This is a direct backlash from the amount of money that has been lost in the stock market over the past couple of years. Individuals have been forced to work well beyond their perceived retirement date because their retirement funds have been depleted. In some cases, these individuals have seen their funds decrease by 50% in a very short span, which "rarely happens around the median home priced real estate market. People need a place to live no matter what is happening on Wall Street. Even though the real estate market did go through some short term problems, it has rebounded in many parts of the country and has truly stabilized," states Moore. The Real estate IRA is meant to help people take control of their own destinies by giving them some control over where their personal investments are placed. "The days of relying on a big company or a large government pension is no longer a sustainable strategy for retirees because these program seem to always receive cuts, especially during and following a recessionary period. Therefore, it is a wise idea for every investor to evaluate their investment strategy and take personal responsibility for their own retirement plan. Moore says, "we are starting to see a trend where younger investors are asking about the Real Estate IRA. This trend is increasing for a number of reasons: 1. Many are seeking to truly diversify. 2. Many want control over where their retirement funds are invested. 3. Many realize homes will always be in demand. 4. Many of the 30 and 40 somethings realize there is not going to be a safety net for them like Social Security so they must take the initiative now or face a substandard lifestyle during their retirement years." In addition, "many wonder with the current state of the economy and the loses suffered over the past year whether they will be able to retire," concludes Moore. For more information on real estate IRA, contact Josh Moore at <a href="http://www.IRALLCPartner.com">http://www.IRALLCPartner.com</a> or 877-339-4559.

Self Directed IRA Holders Find A Silver Lining To The Foreclosure Crisis

Austin, Texas ( PressReleaseCollection ) October 26, 2009 – With foreclosures at all time highs and the stock market still not quite on solid ground, investors are focusing their activities on other markets, especially stable commodities and real estate. According to the latest indicators, it seems certain that the unprecedented level of foreclosures is set to continue even as the housing market slowly recovers. For many, it's a tragic situation - and for others, a time of unparalleled opportunity. There are quite a few IRA holders who are also interested in making investments in real estate given the sheer number of homes either in the foreclosure process, or already owned by financial institutions. However, traditional IRAs don't allow the holders of these accounts the freedom to decide that they would like to take advantage of current market conditions to make investments in this very exciting market. The answer may lie in something known as a self directed IRA, which as the name implies, is a retirement fund, which allows for the holder to make decisions about where their contributions to the account are invested - including in real estate, as president of the <a href="http://www.irallcpartner.com">Austin firm Truly Self Directed</a>, Josh Moore explains: "Unfortunately, it does not appear that the current wave of foreclosures is going to subside anytime soon. Many investors are uncertain about the stock market and a lot of people are turning to what they know versus the unknowns of the stock market." "People with IRA / 401ks are looking for something they know can provide them a return on their investment - and that's real estate. Investors who purchase real estate with IRA funds may actually be an important part of a viable free market solution to a less than ideal situation," adds Moore. About Truly Self Directed: A self directed IRA such as those offered by <a href="http://www.irallcpartner.com">Moore's firm</a> allow investors to take funds earning very low returns in traditional investment vehicles and put them to work as they see fit, including profitable sectors like real estate and development. As skittish investors look for alternatives to the stock market, these are something we'll all likely be hearing a lot more about.

Attention Baby Boomers: Enough Already

Mississauga, ON ( PressReleaseCollection ) March 31, 2009 – That seems to be the message from Generation X in what appears to be another bubble waiting to burst from the fallout of the housing and stock market crash: the war between generations. A series of interviews conducted by <a href="http://www.1source4stocks.com">1source4stocks.com</a> with members from both the baby boomer generation and Generation X seems to have tapped into the growing angst as both fear the fallout of the recent bear market. “Every time we pick up the paper there’s yet another story about how bad things are for baby boomers,” says Paul M (who didn’t want to disclose his name). “They’ve had it good for their entire life – living under the shadow of the ‘Me Generation’ hasn’t been easy.” Recently, MSNBC ran a report on the baby boomer generation who find themselves only a few short years away from retirement and sadly find themselves a few dollars short of their goals. Even 1 gentleman feared that he would have to ask people if they wanted paper or plastic as he bagged their groceries for them. It’s a fear shared by many from the Aquarius generation. "Some baby boomers have become materialistic and greedy, but I've spent my whole life trying to help others in any way I can” says Corrine D who was taken aback when told of some of the comments from Generation X. “I've seen many older workers tossed aside when they weren't young any longer, and I've seen younger people treat older ones like they were worthless. The generation blame can work both ways I'm afraid." Many who identified themselves as Gen X’ers felt little in the way of pity for their parents. “Its a little tough to feel sorry for a demographic that has for the last 60 years had it very easy. For many of us, graduating from university meant having to ask ‘do you want fries with that’ as our first job. If we were able to find a job, it’s because a baby boomer finally retired early after being with the same company for the last 30 years. Working for the same company for 30 years is something that we’ll never see”, said one Gen X’er who preferred to remain nameless. Much of the angst of the post baby boomer generation stems from reason such as having to pay for a $10 trillion national debt which helped finance much of the social safety net that baby boomers have enjoyed, but is in question for future generations. Many also felt that it was the baby boomers who, due to their sheer numbers, helped drive up the cost of homeownership, while fears grow about property values dropping as baby boomers begin to cash in their homes for something smaller. Many Gen X’ers also started investing just after university and have sat through a tech bubble and now a bear market – to the point where they have seen 0% increase in their portfolios as the Dow Jones recently hit new 12 year lows. Baby Boomers have seen a drop in their portfolios however many still have a relatively large nest egg, whereas Gen X is starting over, again. Unlike Generation X, baby boomers don't have time on their side. Many baby boomers are within a few years of retirement and face the choice of either adding risk to the portfolios in the way of <a href="http://www.1source4stocks.com">penny stocks</a> or by looking outside of the stock market for ways of making money. Where the real warfare is going to take place is on the employment front. Many baby boomers, facing shortfalls in their retirement nest eggs, are looking at the very real likelihood of having to work into their 70’s – a time when many thought they would be playing golf every day. Employers will have to choose between paying handsomely for an experienced workforce, or paying less for youthful enthusiasm. The battle will heat up quickly as many companies continue to cut payrolls and offer less money to successful candidates. With fewer jobs available, the latest chapter in the war between generations promises to be one for the generations.
