Episode #6 of Self-Directed Investor Talk: https://SelfDirected.org/6

• In 1963, Studebaker - the once-thriving auto manufacturer - produced it's last car before going out of business
• Before they went out of business, Studebaker was forced by the United Auto Worker's Union to promise unrealistic pension benefits in lieu of higher pay, which Studebaker couldn't afford
• When Studebaker went out of business, they raided the corporate pension fund, leaving their former employees without the pensions they'd been promised.
• Studebaker was just one of many companies - nearly all of them highly unionized - that went out of business and raided their corporate pensions in order to pay their debts.  But it was Studebaker that got the attention of Congress...
• In 1974, Congress passed a collection of laws called the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) which, among other things, created the IRA
• The purpose of the IRA was simple:  To empower Americans to save for retirement in a tax-advantaged way without connecting those savings to employers, or to the risk of employer failure
• The law didn't create "conventional" IRA's and "self-directed IRA's"... only the IRA.  The distinction between conventional and self-directed is entirely a function of the policies of each individual IRA custodian

Fannie Mae, like most of the rest of the federal government, oversteps its boundaries and begins a campaign to target the elimination of totally legitimate seller-financing strategies like rent-to-own and installment contract sales.

• Happy Memorial Day.  To the families who have lost a loved one in service of the defense of the United States, I (Bryan Ellis) and my family thank you sincerely.  Please be sure to listen to the tribute in today's episode.
• Fannie Mae has accused a company called Vision Property Management of impropriety in seller financing transactions on homes purchased from Fannie Mae.  (We have no knowledge of the business practices or innocence/guilt of Vision Property Management)
• Fannie's response:  Prohibition of Vision from purchasing any properties, and targeting of so called "abusive seller finance strategies" from any other companies
• This is just an attempt to categorize seller financing - which is a competitor to bank financing and therefore to Fannie Mae's profitability - as an "abusive" practice so it will be blackballed through political correctness, even though there's nothing illegal about these strategies
• This is all a result of the actions of prodding from corrupt Democrat Congressman Elijah Cummings
• Bottom Line:  It matters for whom you vote, because the effect of your vote will always trickle down to you... sometimes catastrophically

• Episode #266 of Self Directed Investor Talk is here
• New York Times story about Vision Property Management
• Corrupt Democrat Congressman Elijah Cummings faces possible prison time for collusion in IRS matter and has proven he's susceptible to entirely false influence
