Over the past 25 years, since January 2000, the price of gold has nearly doubled the S&P average. Why don’t most people know that? There’s a reason, says Chris Olson, one of the country’s biggest gold wholesalers. This is an amazing story.

Is Tucker Carlson About to Revolutionize the Gold Bullion Market?​

Nov 24, 2025
Tucker Carlson announced today that he has started his own gold and silver bullion dealer named Battalion Metals. Why is Tucker starting a gold dealer? Is it like those other scam Gold IRA dealers that they advertise on conservative news media or is it different? I look at Battalion Metals and compare their products and prices to other online dealers like JM Bullion and APMEX.

Is Tucker taking on the Scam IRA Gold dealers to put them out of business and save senior citizens from lose their retirement IRAs to these scams?

Well they look like other companys I buy from. If anything less product and just as expensive if not more. But I only buy physical and not paper. The whole reason for buying PM's is because I dont trust banks, investment houses, governments, and anyone holding my metal for me. If all falls apart good luck getting your metal.

I dont get scammed. I test everything I buy and buy only from legitimate sources. Of course I wasn't expecting bargain prices. Its gold. Very interesting video tho. Last Jan. I warned my friends to start moving some of their wealth to precious metals. Now all of a sudden they are late to the game but finally got the message the $USD is in big trouble.

Video made last June based on silver price.

I think they know exactly how scummy these companies are. Far more then the moral guys in the video know but the hook of $20 million sets in their mouth to hard. All are well along in age and past whatever prime earning age they ever were so they figure "the hell with it" and go for the cash just like all the rest of these scum sucking celebrities and Politicians do.

"Buyer Beware". By all means Buyer beware. Another thing, I have a buddy who wanted to get into PM's and instead of listening to me he did the exact opposite and got screwed just because he wanted to show he knew more then me. He's had this problem before in many ways for many things. He wouldn't listen to me for fishing even tho I was a pro-level walleye fisherman that also wrote for outdoors magazines because after all, he knew better then I did.

So why listen to me over silver and gold ? Then he got a new investment advisor who told him the exactly wrong advise for silver and gold. Had he listened to me he would have done very well in 2025 but of course he didn't. And even I admit I went a little coin heavy when I started because I'm a collector at heart. My buddy isn't so I steered him toward all these "new customer deals" and a base of 10 oz bars and rounds. But no, he read somewhere about how easy it is to sell ASE's so he loaded up on them regardless of the premiums and he figured just because someone posing as an expert wrote an article they knew more then I did so he happily got fleeced.

I dont give advise anymore. Friends aren't receptive to it and they dont like admitting someone knows more about things then they do.
