Is anything he said false? I don't know much about gold or investments of that nature so I have no clue if what he is saying is bullshit or true or slightly true. My only knowledge of gold is that it had value 1000 years ago so I assume it'll have value 1000 years from now.

Yet I still don't own a single peice of gold including gold leaf.

I doubt Beck's fans have much of an effect. Investing in commodities makes some sense right now. Gold prices have risen as a result, but that increase is relatively small when compared to the increases in copper, silver, platnum, or other metals.

Know what could come to be worth serious money? Rare earths, especially if China puts on the squeeze.

Because it's not that rare, and it's not that hard to mine.
