AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM JIM COOK
After more than five decades in the precious metals business (250,000 clients served and over three billion dollars in gold and silver sold and delivered), I have made the decision that it is time to pass the torch.
IRI Holdings Inc. has acquired Investment Rarities Incorporated, the company I founded in 1973. I am officially stepping back from day-to-day leadership, but I will remain an advisor to the new team. Importantly, the Investment Rarities executive team, and our brokers that you have come to know and trust over the years will remain at the helm of the business, ensuring the continuity of service and expertise our clients have relied upon. Our mission to help ordinary Americans protect their wealth with physical precious metals, will continue and be strengthened.
The new ownership brings fresh energy and modern capabilities to a business built on timeless principles: integrity, physical delivery, and the conviction that gold and silver have a vital role in every serious financial plan. I am excited to see what this team will build next.
The timing of this transition could not be more consequential. The forces we have warned about for decades, including currency debasement, ballooning sovereign debt, fragile paper markets, and the quiet erosion of purchasing power, have never been more visible than they are today.
