they also provide excellent service and some of the lowest storage fees for metals in the industry.\u00a0 <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Most dealers collect a percentage for every ounce of metal they store for their clients.\u00a0 TOM CLOUD DOESN&#8217;T CHARGE A PENNY MORE for storage than what the company he uses<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0 His clients only pay what the storage company he uses charges.<\/p>\n<p>Also, when clients purchase precious metals from Cloud Hard Assets, they put your funds in a safe ESCROW ACCOUNT until the metal is shipped, so the client&#8217;s funds are protected.\u00a0 Very few dealers provide this service.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>More importantly, if you sell metal back to Cloud Hard Assets&#8230;

I am glad to share this information with subscribers and public followers even if it may turn a few off members, because why on earth would you want to SPEND MORE MONEY for the same precious metals products and storage??<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Lastly, Tom Cloud will be doing a precious metals update next week.\u00a0 He has some interesting things to share.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you want to find out more about Cloud Hard Assets&#8230;
