Glen Beck cashes in on the gold he sold you fools

So, does the value of something like gold have to never dip in order for a commercial spokesman to escape your condemnation, Desh?

I think the point he's trying to make is that the listeners of people like Beck and Limbaugh are being fed one doomsday scenario after another during their programs, then they do their adverts for gold and seed banks, and encourage them to get in, because "the end is near!"

It's a scam based on false or skewed information caused to create anger and more importantly, fear...but hey, as the old saying goes....a fool and his money are soon parted

I have yet to understand how Beck makes any more or less money for his doing commercials by how much gold is selling for.....

Does he work on commission for all his advertizers ?......I think not,....no one does....Beck don't sell gold, he sells air time to advertizers....what kind of idiot don't
get that.

NOVA....I've listened to Beck on the radio as well a Limbaugh....they do the commercials themselves

Whats your point ?.....we're all aware of the news.....gold price is a world market, China was stockpiling it in hugh quantities a few months ago.

just waiting for the market to take a dump too.....Obama can't print more money indefinitely.....

A world market? Yes it is. But what happened is they were creating an artificial bubble based on scare tactics. The more people buy, the higher the price. As far as China is concerned, they are probably just hoping to make a quick buck, sell it off, and burst the bubble so this country is hurt even more.

We'll see.....it certainly was not just Americans buying gold that drove up the price.....and China didn't email me yet about what their intentions were....

That egg cooker Beck was selling scared me but I didn't buy one.....

How about the seed bank? Buy into that yet?
 
Certainly the gold market was trying to capitalize on the recession to draw investors, but there is a line of thought out there that gold is a safe investment because it typically doesn't drop much and can thus endure major downturns.

The price of gold plunged 5% Friday to its lowest level in three years as economists grew increasingly worried about the economy's forward momentum heading into spring.

The price of gold futures for June delivery finished the week at $1,487, down $78 an ounce. It's the lowest close of the precious metal since it peaked at $1,889 in August 2011.

Buying gold is borderline retarded. Unfortunately, many conservatives have bought into the lunacy.

Perhaps Some of our brethren live and breathe way too much on the very word of Beck and Limbaugh. I mean, I'll watch Maddow every once in a while, because she's highly intelligent and well spoken..but even when I do, I take everything she says with a grain of salt....because I know she's a pundit.

I think she brings up good points, but I know it's biased.

Does this look like a coin?

They are about $30 over market price.

There really is nothing at all different about goldline and other sellers. Sometimes they have better prices, sometimes not. This isn't really about goldline, it is about Desh reading some KOS article that bashes Beck for selling gold to people for years because in the past two months or so the price has dropped after rising by more than 600% from when I first starting hearing the commercials. (way more than from Beck. I hear it from nearly every talk radio host out there).

He even tells you that he buys coins that are more expensive and that most wouldn't want to do that.

Wow... "borderline retarded"...

If you bought gold in 2002 (when I first started telling people to invest in gold) and sold it recently, you've gained more than 600% on your investment. Borderline retarded would be better exemplified by bashing people for making good investments because some dude you dislike politically does a commercial.
