Ask the Adviser: Investing for Retirement ? Financial Survival Network

Laying out the options to consider

Chris Martenson?s Peak Prosperity

Last month, we piloted a new type of podcast in which we directed your questions about money to one of the financial advisory firms we endorse. Based on the strongly positive response we received from listeners, we are going to make this a regular recurring feature.

In this week?s podcast, Chris speaks with Bill Cole, Mike Preston and John Llodra: partners at the other firm we endorse.

A disproportionate percentage of the questions our readers have submitted are about retirement. So this podcast focuses exclusively on that topic, addressing such issues as:

• If much of my retirement capital is within an employer-sponsored plan, what are my options?
• What are the risks of keeping my money in a retirement plan for years to come?
• Even though I?m not retired yet, should I cash out of my 401k/IRA?
• If I withdraw early to invest in other assets, what sort of hit will I take? Are there ways to avoid early withdrawal penalties?
• If I?m over 59 1/12, how should I determine my schedule for making withdrawals?
• How can I hold precious metals in my retirement account?
• What is a non-traditional IRA and what investments can I hold in it? How do I go about opening one?
• What exactly are annuities? Do they make sense any more as a retirement vehicle?

As with last time, there wasn?t enough time to make it through all of the prepared questions. We will address the remaining ones in a future podcast.
