    Religious tie in?

    A few months ago, flipping through the radio channels, I found a Christian talk station with a "Smart Money" segment dominated by gold.

    The program mixed general investment principles ("balanced portfolios should include precious metals"), general gold marketplace discussion, and religion (lots of hits on variations of the word "steward").

    The host of the program must have some interest in brokering gold or something because every night when I drive home at the same time, the Christian station is hawking gold.
