The attempts to get you to buy gold are off the charts! EVERY "conservative" TV and radio station has a different gold company running the ads, with the hosts claiming "X is the only company I trust". It seems like whenever there is a huge push for something like this, it is all part of a behind-the-scenes plan to rip off the average joe. My feeling is that if the SHTF and the economy collapses, what good will $100,000 in some gold company stock/fund do you? Is anyone else going to buy your $5,000 /oz gold? My theory is that this huge gold push is to drive the price of gold up to a point where the big boys DO sell out, make a killing, and leave everyone else scrambling to get out before it drops below what they bought in for. Please post your thoughts on this. Thank you.
