Why should you even consider using a self-directed IRA as an option?

Dear ETCP Investor or Potential Investor,

Look all of this over! It is a lot of information, but the market is going nuts, and not in a good way. Everyone has been able to enjoy a really good 4+ year run! Now it is time to look your portfolio over and make some real decisions!!! ETCP has opportunities to help through the hard market conditions.

Let's start with a little information from the market. Friday the Dow dropped nearly 500 points to close at a new low for 2022 on rising recession fears. Those are fears of a recession coming, so that would mean there is more to lose before the gains start, right? 

So, here is what I would ask you to consider: Traditional investing in the stock market is showing double digit reductions to portfolios.  What I have available for you is double digit increases in your invested dollars with me.  We need to get together and talk about this.  While I can't tell you there is no risk in my investments, I think we all see that risk is everywhere!  ETCP represents projects that have been well vetted. The first concern we have is "What are the chances of this project losing the principal that has been invested by my participant?" These developers have a great history of success and these projects have been well planned. 

Take the opportunity to discuss how to diversify your investments to help mitigate some of the impact of down markets.  A client saw the value of this just two months ago and took money from his IRA, moved it to a self-directed IRA and has made 2% in two month and avoided losing over 10% from the market decline! That is a 12+% difference! It can also provide periodic returns for his cash flow without having to take more out of a stock portfolio that is sinking. I can keep going on about this, but if you want more information or want to discuss what you think the market will do, just contact me!  We need to at least have the conversation.

One of the things we could discuss are ways to invest...

Do you have any old 401(k) plans that you rolled into IRAs? We could take any 401(k) or IRA money and put it in a self-directed IRA and you can invest in projects like this! Let's talk about how it works! You receive the same tax advantages with a self-directed IRA as there are with 401(k), Roth and Traditional IRAs.
