I’ll promise right  up front that this will not be a TSPMint.com infomercial.  In fact I will spend the majority on the show on other types of silver, why silver is a great investment and why many “fears” and “concerns” with buying silver are not worth worrying about. I also want to talk about the real and false reasons behind the recent drop in precious metals pricing.  There are two things going on here, prices should be coming down but not as far and not as fast as they are.  Just as speculation can drive up a commodity (especially when … Continue reading →

There were no less then 200 inquires from the audience after Rob Gray’s last appearance where he mentioned that you could set up an IRA where you had phyical possession of silver inside the IRA.

So Rob has returned to discuss exactly how you set up an IRA where you are in total control of all assets held within it and can physically put your hands on any … Continue reading →

Last night I posted that my good friend Rob Gray would today be testifying before congress about “competing currencies” at the request of Representative Ron Paul.  Rob may have already completed his remarks, I really don’t know for sure as my provider doesn’t have CSPAN-3 and I was on the road at his appointed time so the internet feed does me no good. Today I want to read his speech to you and tell you my thoughts on how we the people can fix this problem with money, not inside the system, not even in opposition to the system but … Continue reading →
