<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Slider, post: 1895164, member: 44205&quot;]This strategy has it&#039;s own problems, as it violates one of the fundamental rules of finance - &quot;yesterday&#039;s money is always worth more than tomorrow&#039;s money.&quot; A practical example is the growth in the stock market over the past several years. The share that you paid $50 for &quot;yesterday&quot; may cost you $70 to buy &quot;today,&quot; and $100 to buy &quot;tomorrow.&quot; Unless you&#039;re increasing the amount of dollars you&#039;re using to &quot;pay yourself back&quot; to account for inflation, you&#039;re intentionally diminishing your future purchasing power for the sake of an easy loan. Borrowing money from yourself in this fashion should always be an option of last resort.</p><p><br /></p><p>Taking money from an existing IRA, which is likely invested in mutual funds composed of a number of individual securities, and putting it into a bullion IRA also violates another basic rule of investment - diversification.&nbsp; Mutual funds, and index funds, attempt to reduce risk by spreading your money over multiple investments that are grouped together into a single holding.</p><p><br /></p><p>No matter how much confidence you have in PM, the act of moving money from a diversified investment into a single investment is accompanied by a dramatic increase in risk that you will carry for the duration of the investment.&nbsp; I&#039;m not typically a fan of paper metal, but if you can&#039;t afford to buy metal with post-tax income, and you&#039;re convinced that you need to have skin in the PM game, the wise thing to do would be to buy paper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
