Glenn Beck, the Huckster

[Gistok]

There's no problem in having at least part of your investment portfolio in Gold or precious metals... but not buying when the metals are at or near their all time peak.

Intelligent investors already know this... but many Tea Party folks [[and others) are being frightened by Beck et al... into making rash decisions.

As has been stated... this is not illegal... but it prays on the fears of the folks who have been frightened by the expanded government deficit spending.

Gistok, do you dare to suggest that Glenn Beck would prey on the fears of idiots? I never would have guessed!

No need to guess.

He said himself during an interview for CONSERVATIVE Forbes magazines that he couldn't care less about politics, Fox News is an entertainment company [[that's not surprising given all the conservative tabloid media outlets Rupert Murdoch owns and their main man at 8 PM is a tabloid journalist, they should just change the name of Fox News to Onion TV) and people who falls for his [[or anyone of their) bullshit are idiots.

Those fears have certainly worked out well for the gun and ammo manufacturers the last few years. They must be raking in the profits these days.

If these people were experts, they would be telling us to sell the gold that they told us to buy when gold was $280 an ounce.

Nothing raises more doubt on the value of a product than resorting to a celebrity to push it.

A good rule of thumb -- when a potential investment starts getting pushed in advertising or in "news" shows, it is time to pay very close attention and get ready to move your investments elsewhere. that generally starts when interest from serious investors has peaked and the brokers are going after the come-latelies
