The position of “financial advisor” is somewhat of a misnomer. It portrays the concept that the advisor is there to offer recommendations on the best financial investments their clients can make. In reality, they are given a very limited scope of products they’re allowed to sell which means they’re not allowed to “advise” their clients to buy other things even if it would be a better investment.
In other words, they’re job is to sell THEIR products, not the best financial products available. Calling them “financial advisors” is no different from calling a car salesman a “transportation advisor.” There’s nothing wrong with the profession itself but the title can be misleading.
Jonathan Rose, CEO of Genesis Gold Group, joined Steve Poplar from The Poplar Report to discuss a wide range of economic topics. Poplar, who is an accountant by trade, grilled Rose about the state of the economy and the geopolitical events influencing it. He also dropped random gems ranging from government waste surrounding ball bearings to the age-old question, “Is there any gold in Fort Knox?”
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.
