Michael Torres has personally evaluated 32 gold IRA custodians since 2009 — including opening test accounts at Augusta, Goldco, and Birch Gold to measure actual transfer timelines. His fastest recorded direct trustee-to-trustee transfer completed in 6 business days (Goldco → Equity Trust, $47,000 Traditional IRA, March 2025). His research on IRA transfer mechanics has informed coverage in Kiplinger, Investopedia, and The Wall Street Journal. He reviewed IRS guidance under IRC §408(m) and Rev. Proc. 92-70 to build this guide's regulatory framework.
