In March 2009, the financial crisis sent U.S. stocks to a 13-year low.

Investors gave back $7 trillion in wealth ... and lost 22% of their retirement savings.

But since then, the market has staged its biggest two-year bull run since the great depression.

With the right investments in your IRA, you can make back everything you lost in the 2009 crash ... and then some.

Unfortunately, your current IRA probably doesn't allow you to maximize your profits in today's new bull market - forcing you to rebuild your retirement funds at an excruciatingly slow pace. You may have even written it off, passively looking at your quarterly statements.

Let me explain...

The problem with conventional IRAs - including Roth IRAs and even 'self directed IRAs' - is that they don't earn very much money, especially after fees (usually well hidden).

You see, the average IRA severely limits the funds, stocks, and other investments you can hold in your retirement account.

These choices are usually restricted to the mediocre, under-performing "house" investments - often second-rate mutual funds - managed by the plan sponsor for outrageous fees. You have likely been told at some point an annuity - the biggest money- maker for an adviser - is the right investment for you.

The return of the average mutual fund over the past decade has been a meager 3.3%.

The Street recently detailed an example that shows the long term impact from fees: "A 25-year-old employee who currently has around $25,000 in his or her retirement account, and whose annual contributions (and employer matches) total only $2,500, in a plan that is allocated 80% to stocks and 20% to bonds, could forfeit more than $660,000 by age 65 — if the plan charges excess fees totaling just 1% a year."

You sure didn't write a check for $660,000, but they deduct it right out of your account.

In other words, you don't have much choice over how the money in your IRA is invested.

Would you deal with a brokerage that only allowed you to buy the 30 stocks which make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average, ignoring the other 15,000 publicly traded companies? Of course not. But that's basically how most IRAs operate. The sad fact is: many conventional investments held in IRAs generate merely average market returns.

Funds with anemic performance can gradually eat away at your wealth, drain your nest egg, and make retirement an almost impossible dream ...meaning you may have to work (or go back to work) years longer than you'd like. A recent survey by the Employee Benefit Research Institute found that only 23% of workers plan to retire before age 65, down from 50% in 1991.

Hidden dangers to your IRA...Inflation Up, Dollar Down

But the news gets worse: despite the recovery, the economy remains fragile and threatens to erode your retirement nest egg even further.

Since 2008, everyone has seen how dicey the financial system is (2008 provided a glimpse at how dicey the financial system is). And even then, in 2008, FDIC identified 252 unprofitable financial institutions. Today, there are 884.

According to the Bank of International Settlements, derivative contracts at the end of 2008 were $212 trillion. At the end of 2010 they were $240 trillion, an increase of 13.2%.

Supply of gold and silver American Eagles have hardly kept up with demand, the government is struggling to relinquish its holdings in private companies, and bailouts will inevitably lead to inflation, which diminishes the buying power of the money you do save for retirement.

You may think it odd to worry about inflation when the consumer price index is rising at a modest 1.5% year-over-year.

But look around you: the prices of the items you need every day are skyrocketing. Oil prices have jumped 29% in the past year to more than $108 a barrel.

This has pushed gasoline to over $3.60 a gallon nationally - twice what it was when President Obama took office.

The CRB Commodity Index has jumped 32% over the past 12 months.

John Williams of the Shadow Government Statistics web site tracks price increases for commodities, energy, food, precious metals, health care, and removes the ever-changing adjustments made by the Department of Labor.

He puts the real rate of inflation close to 10%.

Another threat to your IRA is the ongoing decline of the U.S. dollar. One reason for the weak dollar is the U.S. government printing money like it was going out of style.

Steve Horwitz, professor at St. Lawrence University, says that the amount of money printed in the months following the 2008 economic crisis has been absolutely unprecedented in U.S. history. The monetary base, which is the measure of currency plus bank reserves, has doubled from $850 billion to $1.7 trillion.

When the Fed buys bonds to inject liquidity into the system, more cash goes into circulation. The Fed has announced its intention to purchase a further $600 billion of long-term Treasury securities by the end of 2Q 2011.

The Pew Research Center reports that, despite the economic recovery, consumer confidence remains fragile. An article in The Record says, "The nation's shaky economy has ...many baby boomers expecting to remain in the workforce into their 70s."

Federal government may seize part of your IRA

The national debt today is a staggering $14.25 trillion. In the past 3 years alone, our government added $5.5 trillion in new debt - nearly a 60% rise.

Federal spending increased a record 29% during President Obama's first 3 years. The government budget deficit is estimated to be $1.2 trillion.

"Total monetary and financial collapse of the massive government debt bubble is upon us, with devastating real-world consequences for your savings property values, investments, and other assets," says Robert Mundell, an economist at Columbia University. "We've never been in this unstable position in the entire currency history [of] 3,000 years."

Where can the federal government turn to for cash that can help it dig out of this hole?

How about your IRA?

Americans have $4 trillion saved in 401K plans and another $8 trillion in IRAs and pension plans, 95% of which are invested in the equity markets, mainly stocks and mutual funds.

If the U.S. government forces investors to invest 50% of their IRAs in government bonds, that would raise $6 trillion.

In fact, Congress once passed, and later rescinded, a 15% "excess retirement accumulations excise tax" on large retirement plans. Reviving that tax could bring the government a lot of money.

Unthinkable that the U.S. government would seize control of a portion of your IRA in this manner? Think again. It is happening all over the world, and the U.S. may soon follow suit.

Eight countries have raided retirement plans since 2008, including France, Poland, Ireland, and Hungary.

Teresa Ghilarducci has proposed her plan to Congress, a 'Guaranteed Retirement Account', or GRA.

In her words "...a GRA will accumulate 5% of their paychecks in a GRA over their lifetime. The government would credit their accounts with 3% plus inflation... GRAs would provide a safe and secure retirement to 63 million people."

Of course, this is only coming up because the now 'in the red' Social Security system will no longer meet its purpose. So why not double down?

And more bad news: whenever a government has seized a portion of its citizens' money from retirement accounts, the stock market has plunged ... which would further drain wealth from your IRA.

When Argentina moved $29 billion in public pensions into government accounts in 2008, their stock market lost 13% of its value.

And when Hungary required that private pensions invest in public debt in 2010, their market fell 14%.

Under-publicized IRS loophole can make you rich

The good news is: there is a little-known loophole in the IRS code that allows you to create a special kind of IRA far different than the one offered by your broker or financial advisor.

Now investment editor and former fund manager Terry Coxon can show you how to own a new type of IRA with the potential to double or triple the gains in your retirement account - or even do better!

Any individual investor can set up one of these "special IRAs." You don't need to be a big institution or an ultra-wealthy investor.

And here's the key...

When you buy a conventional IRA, the account has a custodian - typically a brokerage, bank, or family of funds - that determines what investments can be made in your retirement account.

And of course, they restrict your IRA investments to their own crappy in-house products.

With this Special IRA, you are given individual signatory authority in a limited liability company.

This separates the historical dual role of the custodian as both the administrator and the money manager for your IRA.

So administration of your IRA is still handled by the custodian. But YOU have sole signatory authority over the money management. The investments you can make within your Individual Retirement Account are totally up to you - and limited mostly by your imagination and personal preferences.

Want safe, conservative investments? They're all yours for the choosing - including t-bills, bonds, and certificates of deposit.

On the other hand, if you want to double or triple the gains in your retirement account, you can invest in any promising vehicle under the sun - from owning real estate and small cap growth stocks to silver, oil wells, ETFs, and gold mines.

Profit From Today's Market

Right now, your IRA is tethered on a short leash: the small number of investments your custodian allows you to make in your account.

In Unleash Your IRA, you learn how to sidestep the restrictions of a conventional IRA - and take charge of your own financial destiny.

Result: YOU pick the assets....domestic or international ... the commodities ... and the other investments you want to fund your retirement in your IRA.

All over the country, men and women are opening these Special IRAs - and making small fortunes with the investments they make in them:

• In his Special IRA, Tom from Washington has been buying precious metals - mostly silver Eagles at $9 per ounce. Today, silver is selling for around $35 an ounce.
• Dan from Ohio invested part of his IRA in a start-up software company that makes applications for cities and municipalities. He expects his investment to shortly give him a triple-digit return.
• Meet Trent from Idaho, who rolled his old 401K into a Special IRA. From his Special IRA, Trent owns metal coins stored in Hong Kong and Switzerland. He cut his annual fees by 70% and no longer pays asset based fees on his metals, as he had been doing in the GLD and with depository firms.
• Larry from Michigan put $500 in his Special IRA down as an option on a rental house. He then turned around and sold the option for $10,000 to another investor who did the repairs. Larry also bought a house in a tax sale for $1,500 and resold it to a friend for $15,000; the buyer fixed it up as a rental.
• In his Special IRA, William from Florida has dozens of mortgages earning between 15% and 19%, never loaning more than 50% of the property's value. He gets points as well, so if the home buyer refinances or sells the note his gain is even higher.

Triple your profits with Special IRAs

If you invest $100,000 in a CD earning only 2% annual return, you'll have $121,899.40 in your IRA after a decade of modest growth - barely keeping up with inflation.

But remember, with a Special IRA, you aren't limited to CDs or mutual funds or other "boring" investments. So your rate of return can potentially be many times higher. Let's say you averaged a 9% annual return on a $100,000 IRA. After 10 years, your account would have grown to $236,736.40 - more than double what you'd make with the CD.

But what if like William from Florida ... or Trent from Idaho ... you can make 15% on your Special IRA instead of 9% or 2%?

Within 10 years, your original $100,000 would grow to a handsome $404,555.80 - more than 3X the profits you would have made with the CD returning 2%.

I don't know how much money you'll make with your Special IRA. That all depends on you and how you invest the account. Real estate or bonds? Stocks or gold bullion? Cash flow notes or mutual funds? It's your call.

And that's the point of creating a Special IRA: how you invest the money is entirely up to you. That's right. You call the shots. Not some custodian who forces you to park your money in wimpy investments earning paltry single-digit returns.

Act now and save $20

Five Reasons You Should Act Now and Save $20!

1. Odds are, if someone else is managing your IRA investments, he hasn't learned much since 2008. Did you sit and watch your retirement account lose 30%, 40% or  50% of it's value during the great financial meltdown that began that year?   
   
   If the market starts sinking again (which it easily could) you'll want to be in total control of your money so that you can act quickly and decisively to protect your wealth and even profit from economic turmoil.  
2. The economy's problems have created once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunities for those able to act!
   
   Since the beginning of the Great Recession, some absolutely incredible deals have emerged.  Property is selling for pennies on the dollar, tax lien investments are lucrative and plentiful and many physical commodities are set to boom.
   
   An Open Opportunity IRA allows you to Unleash your retirement funds to take advantage of those rich opportunities
3. Tax rates are going up --- and soon!
   
   The U.S. government is scrambling for cash.  It needs more money.  Your money.  And you can absolutely count on rising income taxes.
   
   The best way to preserve and grow your wealth is to fully exploit the tax advantages that the IRA rules allow.  With your Open Opportunity IRA you can fully leverage your skills, knowledge and capital in the most tax-efficient manner allowed by law.
4. Convert to Roth and save big
   
   With an ordinary IRA, deciding whether to switch to a Roth means weighing the tax now if you do convert against the tax later if you don't convert.   With an Ordinary IRA it can be hard to decide.  But in most cases the much smaller tax cost for converting anOpen Opportunity IRA to a Roth knocks the scale over.  Changing to a Roth becomes the right move.  
   
   An Open Opportunity IRA can cut the tax cost of converting to a Roth by 35% to 50%.  I know that sounds fantastic, but when you read chapter 10 of Unleash Your IRA and learn how it works, you'll say "Of course, Why didn't I think of that?"
   
   Cut the tax bill in half -- that's Samurai tax planning.
5. The door is still wide open
   
   Today the rules are on your side -- the law invites you to take complete charge of your retirement funds.  But revenue-hungry government might change the rules at some point.   If you convert to an Open Opportunity IRA now, your plan could be grandfathered under today's rules.   If you wait, you might be shut out.

You could easily pay a financial advisor thousands of dollars to set up a Special IRA for you - and doing so would be worth every penny.

But now you can find out everything you need to know about these Special IRAs for a small fraction of that cost.

The cover price on the Unleash Your IRA investment manual is $97, and that's what it will sell for later this year. A very reasonable "fee" for showing you how to turn your IRA into a money-making machine, yes?

But act now and it's yours for only $77 ... over 20% discount off the regular rate ... less than you'd pay a qualified attorney for a half hour of his time.

But wait. There's more.

How To Retire Comfortably - Now

You're probably going to live longer - a lot longer - than your parents and grandparents.

Over the last 100 years, the life expectancy at birth has gone up 28 years, from 49 to 77 years of age.

So it's more difficult than ever to accumulate enough money in a traditional IRA to make sure you don't outlive your retirement savings.

According to Kiplinger's Personal Finance, you need at least a million dollars to retire these days.

Most Americans don't have anywhere near that: the average retirement account balance in the U.S. for men and women ages 55 to 69 is a mere $42,500.

Even if you have a million dollars, stock market crashes, cyclical bear markets, and inflation can quickly cut your retirement nest egg down to size.

No wonder the Social Security Administration brags that 95% of Americans rely on Social Security - or other government programs -- to help them keep a roof over their heads in retirement!

Now, a million dollars is considered the bare minimum needed to retire comfortably - and some experts place that figure at three or four million.

Yet most Americans are saving LESS - not MORE. Which means that millions of people ... including those at or near retirement age ... are getting poorer and poorer!

Your best bet for living well in retirement ... and having your retirement nest egg last for as long as you live ... is by earning above-average IRA returns.

And the best way to earn superior returns in your retirement portfolio is through a Special IRA, where the investments you make are up to you - and the profits grow taxdeferred or even tax-free.

There is no more important task for managing your wealth than converting your ordinary IRA into a Special IRA this year!

And every day your wealth stays stuck in an ordinary IRA earning average market returns, you're leaving money on the table ... and losing out on the profit boom of today's great bull run.

So make a decision soon. Right now, the door is wide open for all the Special IRA benefits and strategies I've described here. But no one knows when the rules might change in ways that slam the door on newcomers. If you're interested in putting your IRA on a path for rapid growth, it would be a shame to be left on the outside looking in.

There is a world of good you can accomplish with your IRA, even if it's been idle or ignored for years. With a Special IRA, you can pump much more of your financial life into your retirement account, where the money will be free to shrug off the heavy burden of year-by-year taxation. Then it can grow tax-deferred and at much higher rates of return than ordinary IRAs.

So what are you waiting for?
