The vast majority of Americans are relying on some combination of Social Security, company retirement plans, and simple personal savings to support their retirement. Only about 1/3 of Americans have an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), and the vast majority of those have their money either directly or indirectly in the stock market. But did you know that you can hold a wide variety of alternative assets in your IRA? You can diversify your retirement portfolio, and pursue outlier returns, with: ► Real estate ► Crypto ► Private equity ► Private lending ► Gold & other precious metals ► Commodities ► Equipment leasing ► Tax liens ► Mineral rights ► Business ownership Diversification is a proven risk management strategy, and many of these offer above-market returns and/or below-market risks, secured with real assets. Does your current retirement plan let you invest in these alternative assets? Maybe it should.

I never, ever thought I'd have an interest in markets and trading…until I did. Now, I'm obsessed. I've been trading crypto since 2021, now consistently profitable. In 2023, I took a sabbatical and spent a year as a full-time trader. Since then, I've been consistently beating the market. I'm now in the process of refining those algorithms for my own funds, and exploring the world of prop trading (OPM - other people's money). If you're interested in learning simple ways you can beat the market, and some of the things I wish I'd known when I started, I'm happy to share. If you're an experienced professional trader with wisdom to share, I'm wide open — I still have a LOT to learn.
