27. Glen Beck pimps it relentlessly,

and I think one of Limbaugh's sponsors is one of those scrap gold buying scam outfits.

It's semi-associated with survivalist right-wingers who think Obama is after their guns and that when society collapses having a lot of gold will actually mean something.

Don't know the history of the whole gold-standard thing but I think it's also part of a conspiracy theory about the government defrauding everyone because paper money isn't backed by anything anymore.

In any case, I'd say invest in whatever you like. Nothing wrong with it. The price of gold might be inflated a bit because lots of people who pulled their money out of the stock market in 2001 and real estate in 2007 put the money into gold. But who can say when the bubble will burst.
