Primary-source first
For IRA rules and tax-sensitive mechanics, we prefer IRS publications and official guidance. For self-directed IRA risk, we use Investor.gov and related regulator material. Provider-specific statements come from current provider materials where available.
Commercial facts change
Minimum investments, fees, promotions, account partners, storage options, product availability, and dealer pricing can change. When a current figure is not supported confidently, we tell readers what to ask rather than publishing a stale estimate as fact.
No invented experience
We do not claim to have opened, funded, stored, or liquidated a Gold IRA unless that has actually occurred and can be documented. We do not fabricate testimonials, returns, ratings, quotes, or customer outcomes.
Corrections
Material errors should be corrected when identified. High-stakes pages should be revisited when controlling guidance or provider terms materially change.
