SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH (kuer) - Wednesday, we're talking about people who invest in precious metals because of their fear of an economic crash and an inept government. Columnist Thomas Frank explores the history and mind-set of these "gold bugs" in his latest piece for Harper's Magazine. Frank will join us to discuss what he sees as conspiracy-theory investing and why those who bet on chaos may find their pocketbooks are no different from those who invested in mortgage-backed securities in 2005.
