So tell me, if gold is such a good investment, how is it that those most vocal on it's investment potential are those most eager to sell it?

They do it for the same reasons other brokers do: to make money. They're either buying at a bid price and selling at an asked price or they are matching buyers and sellers and making a commission. If there's more interest in gold, then there will be more buy and selling so they seek to generate interest.

You seem to believe that these guys are selling their own gold.

I don't believe that, but they don't believe half of their own conspiracy nonsense either. Are precious metals a good investment? Historically yes. But those pushing gold can't leave it at that. They have to denigrate every other form of investment and use fear mongering over "fiat currencies" to make their sales pitch.

That is what I hate about the goldphiles.
