4. Ugh
I couldn't tolerate more than a minute and a half - what a moron. God wants us to invest in gold and silver? Really? The bible shows us how to solve our economic problems? Can she really be that fanatically stupid? Tell me this is some kind of bizarre satire.

7. I think God wants everyone to own a pair of shoes.
And it's not just because I'm a shoe salesman!

8. Gold and Republicans

Gold's only real value is that it looks pretty and it doesn't rust.

When gold bugs say we should go back to the gold standard, the reality is that there's not enough gold in the ground to go to a gold standard where everyone could exchange their US dollars for gold coins.

And talk about unstable. Just look at gold's price swings. So exactly how would a shop owner handle a transaction in gold? He couldn't post a sign saying that his product was for sale for a $1 gold coin, and then gold goes up 300 points and now that $1 gold coin is worth $1.10. So every shop owner would need to have a weight scale and the latest price of gold in his store and imagine the long lines and arguments with customers such a system would create.

Gold has no monetary value and is not money. Gold's worth is measured in US DOLLARS.

I went into a Wendy's and asked if I could buy a small fry with a gold coin, they told me no. I went into the grocery store and asked if I could buy toilet paper with gold, they told me no. Gold is not legal tender; therefore, gold is not money. Money is what the government says it is: period.

Gold has no quarterly earnings reports, no products, no income statement, no balance sheet.

When someone buys into the gold ponzi scheme, they come to realize over time that they have to become a salesman for gold because gold's only value is directly proportional to the ability to convince some greater fool to buy gold for more US dollars than they did.

Most people that claim the US dollar is being diluted and is worthless and therefore buy gold, secretly want gold to go up in value (as measured in US dollars) so that they can sell their gold FOR EVEN MORE US DOLLARS IN RETURN. The idea is not to hold gold, the idea is to make more US dollars from trading in and out of gold.

Reality check: If fiat currencies are all worthless then so is gold for the very measure of gold's worth comes from paper currencies.
