What about those "Self Directed" precious metal IRA's. One company says you need a "custodian". Why not just buy the metal and hold on to it yourself? Of course I do realize that if you cashed in a large portion, say to buy a new car or tractor, you may have to pay capitol gains. But if you just used it for "beer money", and cashed in a little at a time, you might be alright.
