Reality Radio for a really great future.

We're talking real money.

Hi there.

Welcome to the show.

I'm Don McDonald, along with no one but you.

It's just us.

Tom's in an Uber or a Lyft or something. Don't know which one he chose, but he's going to the World

Cup. I'm going to stay here and hang out with you. And if you want some help with money,

which is what this show is all about, actually helping you deal with money in a straightforward, sensible, academically based manner,

then you really need to know this phone number.

You may not need me or Tom today, but you're going to need us someday,

and that number is 855-935-tok, 85525-8-25-5-8-25-5. We want to help you make more money in the future,

but in large part, we want to help you avoid doing what we consider to be pretty darn dumb things.

Now, Tom and I are always reading the financial press. We don't watch it or

listen to it that often because it's even crazier than the printed word when you do the

video thing like watching CNBC. That's just bad for your health. But we do read about money all

the time. We read articles good and bad, mostly bad.

But here's one that takes the cake, or takes today's cake anyway.

It's an article from CBS News by a guy named Tim Maxwell, who really appears to not have a clue.

His article is entitled, I love this name, because it's a question,

how does gold work?

I'm sorry, how does a gold IRA work?
