Can You Put Gold in Your 401(k) or IRA?

Can you legally convert a 401(k) or IRA into physical gold?
In this episode of Secret War on Cash, Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos explain how Precious Metals IRAs work — including how investors can transfer retirement funds into physical gold and silver without triggering tax penalties.
With metals already exceeding price forecasts this year, the discussion shifts from speculation to strategy:
• How Gold IRAs are structured
• Why there are no tax consequences when done properly
• Liquidity inside retirement accounts
• The difference between digital bank credits and tangible assets
• Why diversification into precious metals remains relevant
As global volatility, inflation, and debt levels rise, more investors are asking whether part of their retirement portfolio should be held in something real.
This episode walks through the process step by step.
