Senator Bob Menendez was indicted last week on multiple charges surrounding corruption and bribery. One of the most eye-opening aspects of his alleged crimes is that he accepted gold bars to pay for some of his bribes.
Why gold? Mike Adams explained in a recent podcast.
Simply speaking, precious metals represent arguably the most private form of holding wealth that’s commonly used by millions. A lot of money can be held compactly through gold and silver, as Adams noted. Moreover, it requires neither a paper trail nor an electronic record, so unlike real estate, stocks, cryptocurrency, or money in the bank, precious metals exist in a relative “black hole” that government cannot see.
By no means are we encouraging the use of precious metals for illegal purposes, as Senator Menendez is accused of doing. But one does not have to be a criminal to see the value of anonymity and privacy in wealth protection through physical precious metals.
At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
