About this episode
Don and Tom discuss misleading claims about gold investing and the fear-based marketing behind it.
Don and Tom react to the gold-pushing radio show that replaced Talking Real Money, breaking down misleading claims about gold investing, TSP accounts, and “tax-free” gold IRAs while exposing the fear-based marketing behind precious metals sales. They contrast long-term investing with speculation, discuss Jamie Dimon comments taken wildly out of context, and explain why gold’s recent surge says little about the future. Questions? Comments?
