Comments on: Glenn Beck’s Conflict of Interest As Gold Investment Shill http://foxnewsboycott.com/glenn-beck/glenn-becks-conflict-of-interest-as-gold-investment-shill/ FNC truth, lies and advertisers exposed! Sun, 20 May 2012 21:08:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: sidewinded http://foxnewsboycott.com/glenn-beck/glenn-becks-conflict-of-interest-as-gold-investment-shill/comment-page-1/#comment-21271 sidewinded Wed, 27 Oct 2010 00:47:48 +0000 http://foxnewsboycott.com/?p=2456#comment-21271 Apparently its bad to recommend an equitable investment to people. Hey, if you bought even one ounce of gold last year for $1000, you'd have made $400 by the same time this year. On a single ounce. Even those who don't listen to beck but understand the economy were investing in gold. How about you question NBC's ad's for green everything these days when their parent company GE has significant ownership in NBC and are heavily invested in the production of green products, which has been determined that, while it lowers our energy usage a teeensie bit, would not have any impact on global warming. So whats worse, a show advertising a proven solid investment, or a whole network pushing products that their parent company makes that has shown insignificant enough effectiveness in combating global warming (oh sorry, supposed to call it climate change now) Apparently its bad to recommend an equitable investment to people.

It's all a scheme and Beck owes his own wealth to these companies who have sponsored him "long before the economy crashed," even if it means other people make poor investments.

I wont go as far as to say that it hasn't become a conflict of interest, but a real journalist would tell the whole truth.

Quite frankly I don't think I've ever heard him say buy gold if you don't we're all going to devolve into sludge. He's advertised gold. Mentioned the option of gold but never whored himself like you seem to think he does. If he is it's extremely subtle which is probably too smart for the dumb people you think are sucking on fox's teat. Wow it's been awhile since I've heard anyone bitch about his crying on national television. Even barara Walters didn't make fun of that during her interview with her.

In the early to mid 1980s I worked for one of these companies here in Minneapolis. Investment Rarities International ... they are not brokerages they are boiler rooms and the whole goal in 1983 was to scare people with tales of the impending collapse of America, the dollar and the economy and in some cases the pitch would resort to telling people that eventually you'll only be able to buy food via bartering ... the quaint cliche' was to tell people the 'golden rule' ... he who has all the gold makes all the rules. I sold bullion and numismatics. The story was always the same, the market is 'poised', the Dow will never reach 2500, hyperinflation is just around the corner, etc, etc, etc. The strategy was first you scare them, next offer them salvation and then tell them some made up market performance number and appeal to their greed. Thing is the con is the same now as it was nearly 30 years ago ... I have a relative who bought gold bullion in 1980 at $690 an ounce ... he thinks he is sitting pretty now at $1100 ... thing is it took him 28 years to break even and if you include the spread at todays prices it still works out to only 2% appreciation annually on a non-compounding investment and now he is off buying more because the collapse is once again imminent ... like I said ... the 'con' never changes ... I left IRI mainly because I knew that everyday I was ripping someone off and my one day commission record was over $15,000 so I made an 'ok' living (LOL) it was just simply dishonest and it continues to remain the same. That FNC or Glenn Beck is mixed up with this kind of stuff is of no surprise. Great commentary. In the early to mid 1980s I worked for one of these companies here in Minneapolis.

That is not our goal. I'm not so naive to think that Beck wouldn't receive threats (or thinks that he does) - there are nuts on all sides - but his business is built on spreading fear. He knows what he says. It's all intentional. And he profits from it. To think it's convictions and not greed is naive.

I said the void created by the loss of those advertisers fearing backlash will be filled by lowered adverising prices that smaller companies can take advantage of. As for the fear bit. Don't think beck hasn't been targeted with death threats of varying degrees. Never said anything about boycottes eating away at business’.

You mention convictions - the companies that stick with Beck are only after the almighty dollar and do not care if what they support is right or wrong. And, a boycott does not prevent anyone from doing business - they can choose where and with whom they advertise. If we're talking capitalism, this is a free market economy and if dropping Beck could actually break a company, they should diversify, or they need a better business model. But, that's not likely to happen based solely on dropping one method of advertising that accounts for around a fraction of a percent of the US population. As for stalking and creating a fear-fueled environment - that begins and ends with Glenn Beck, Fox News and producers like Jesse Watters.
