A little-known law has been quietly applied to your savings for years. (Ad) Fox News reported that under current law, legal title to most stocks and bonds sits with a central institution, Cede and Company, not the individual investor. If a brokerage collapses and customer securities were pledged as collateral, secured creditors can legally come before account holders. Physical gold held in a self-directed IRA is registered directly to you, with no clearinghouse or central institution holding its title. Request your free 2026 Gold Guide and learn your options today
