Check out this summary of Terry's book titled "When All You Have Is A Hammer...: An Informational Guide To Self-Directed IRAs":

“If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” Bernard Baruch, American Businessman

As a young man, Terry White worked as a framer for his dad’s construction company. He used a big, heavy framing ax to pound 16-penny nails into 2 x 4s. An astute observer, he noticed that the finish carpenters on the site used a delicate, little hammer for their work of installing woodwork, window sills, and molding. The tool Terry used for his work was not the right tool for the job of a finish carpenter, nor did he have the skill to become a finish carpenter; he recognized that and took the lesson with him into adulthood.

With that story in mind, Terry chose the title for this book to position the Self-Directed IRA as another tool you may use to achieve your retirement goals. It is his opinion that Self-Directed IRAs are not for everyone; but for the right person, a Self-Directed IRA may be just the right tool for the job.

Self-Directed IRAs are great tools if you have the knowledge and skills about that in which you are investing, or want to acquire the knowledge and skills about that in which you want to invest; or are able to hire someone with the knowledge and skills about that in which you want to invest. Terry wrote this book as an informational guide for those who may be interested in Self-Directed IRAs. Readers will gain a broad overview of what owners of Self-Directed IRAs may expect and some of the investments they may purchase.
