Does anyone have any info on these "Gold IRA's" advertised on the DP?

Years ago I worked for a large company that offered IRA type retirement plans, basic-ly this is how it worked:

The employees had a set amount deducted from his paycheck and in those days the company matched the amount to be invested.
However, the employee didn't have much choice on how the money was invested.

The deducted investment monies were added into the employees gross annual tax return at the end of the year, and then the employee could deduct the amount invested from his overall gross earned income amount on his annual tax form. Early withdrawal was discouraged. At retirement age the money could be drawn out with a much lesser tax liability, but still depending on gross income for taxation purposes.

During my working years { I'm now retired } I saved and invested in Gold/Silver, in stocks, physical metal, and Goldmoney.com.
During the stock market bubble this may have seemed like a poor retirement policy, however I sold most of my stock, some at a loss, in the early 2000's, and proceeded to re-invest some of the proceeds into Goldmoney.com.

I have been handsomely rewarded, and while many other retirees are struggle-ing financially in my area, I'm doing O.K.

Upon retirement you draw or spend enough to live on from your investment portfolio, but not so much that you would have to pay taxes on the total amount.

Just remember, unlike land, a home, dividends, or capital investment gains, you only pay taxes on your Gold investment when it returns a capital gain, in which case draw out a smaller annual amount.

Bottom line:
Try to retire debt FREE!

What about the gold confiscation act of 1933 never having been abolished???

A GREAT deal of trust indeed would be required to invest in gold this way.

Only by holding your own can you really be sure.

And even then you have to buy it without the knowledege of our great uncle.

As the dollar depreciates it takes more of them to buy Gold.
Since 2001, when I bought Gold for under $300.00 it has risen to well over $900.00.

Here is a chart:

16.4% annual average over the last 8 years.

The nice thing about a Goldmoney investment you can check your balance's worth at any time with a P/C.

The New Hampshire honest money Goldmoney bill, recommends Goldmoney.com in their plan.
