Gold is breaking records again—and smart investors are taking notice. In this episode of the Directed IRA Podcast, Mat Sorensen and Mark Kohler explain how to buy physical gold, silver, and other precious metals inside your IRA, the right way. They walk through which metals qualify, how purity standards and approved coins work, and what IRS rules you need to follow for storage and compliance. You’ll also learn how a self-directed IRA opens the door to these alternative investments, so you can diversify your retirement beyond stocks and mutual funds. If you’ve ever thought about owning real gold bars (not just ETFs or paper gold) inside your IRA, this episode breaks it all down step by step—no myths, no confusion, just clear guidance from the experts at Directed IRA.
