Texas Precious Metals Ranked #1 at 10th Annual Aggie 100

In Case You Aren't From Texas, It Means Doing Honest Business Works

I just learned that Texas Precious Metals (see our review here) was just ranked #1 among Texas A&M owned or managed companies. If you are not from Texas you may not be as familiar with A&M or know that they are a top school.

What this means is that "doing business the Texas way" (ie, honest and straightforward) is WORKING WELL for them.

We at BuyAndStoreGold do business with TexMetals.com personally and highly recommend them.

Here is the press release:
