We're giving you another opportunity to promote Peace!

On Armistice Day this year, Roberts & Roberts Brokerage pledged all profits from sales that day to our favorite organization - ANTIWAR.com. I'm pleased to say that with a slight rounding up, we were able to donate one full Bitcoin to the cause of peace. For Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Cyber Monday, we made the same offer. We're still tallying up the results and it's just as good.

But it still isn't enough. So we're giving you one more chance.

Use the coupon code "Peace On Earth" on your purchase between now and December 23rd and we will again donate all profit from your purchase to ANTIWAR.com. Every dollar over the wholesale cost of all products from that purchase will go to ANTIWAR.com. This is a one time code per customer so make it count.

Recent events in the world make it seem like the threat of more war is continuing to ratchet up. It's important to be well informed about what's really going on.

ANTIWAR.com is dedicated to bringing you the latest in news and reviews and their foreign policy analysis cuts through the propaganda you get from mainstream corporate and government controlled media. If you want to know the latest and most truthful version of the news, you can count on ANTIWAR.com.

ANTIWAR.com is run by people who understand the wars abroad become wars at home, wars on our freedoms.

Randolph Bourne posited that “War is the Health of the State”. We think banks are its sustenance. The truth is that banks drive war – it’s good for their bottom line. Why use their money? By investing in Gold, Silver and Bitcoin, you are exiting the corrupt system that enables war. That’s why we use the motto – “We Don’t Feed the Banks”.

Use the coupon code "Peace On Earth" when you shop online at RRBI.co/ now until December 23rd and help support the cause of peace this holiday season.

Visit ANTIWAR.com and see what's really going on. Consider donating too!

With gold and silver prices dipping lately, now is the perfect time to buy and former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan agrees. Despite the recent dip in prices, Greenspan is recommending gold as an investment. Not usually known for being a gold bug, the former Fed chairman's comments may come as a surprise. He mentions that the time and conditions are right for buying and presented this case to the Council on Foreign Relations the same day as the announcement by the Federal Open Market Committee that the years long quantitative easing program will be coming to an end.

Some have expressed concern this may bolster the price of the dollar and negatively impact metals even more, but Greenspan argued that gold is a good place to put money these days given its value as a currency outside of the policies conducted by governments. Greenspan also disagreed with the quantitative easing policy of the current Fed saying it, "Failed to achieve its primary goals". Gold is also still being purchased by central banks and governments worldwide as evidenced by China in a report earlier this year. China and other countries are not pleased with the dollar's world reserve currency status and though the ceasing of quantitative easing may strenghten the currency temporarily, long term the dollar still faces some serious challenges.

Roberts & Roberts has been in the process of updating our website, and we appreciate your patience during this transition. The brokerage began accepting Bitcoin a few months ago, and we have heard many criticisms of the cryptocurrency. Some are valid, but we wanted to address the invalid claims one particular video makes. Tim Frey and Meghan Lords recently collaborated on an article for Bitcoin Magazine which addresses the claims made by Stansberry Research in one of their recent videos. The video is filled with misrepresentations, and it is important to set the record straight.

You can read the rebuttal in its entirety here: http://bitcoinmagazine.com/10327/secret-currency-vs-bitcoin-comparison-rebuttal-stansberry-research/
