Why invest in gold?

An ounce of gold is currently worth around $1650, still some way below last year's peak when it approached $2000 dollars. But with Eurozone fears resurfacing, will the precious metal once more prove to be an attractive safe haven?

Peter Hambro, chairman of the Petropavlovsk, the UK-listed Russian gold mining company told Today programme business presenter Simon Jack about his career in mining and why people turn to gold in times of trouble.

It's not about PMs at the moment.

It's all about pulling credit money into areas where it can be (partially) disposed of.

Hi everyone.

Thanks GF for giving me the push to come here. Hopefully I can learn as much here as I did on HPC in 2006/2007. I haven't really learned much over there since I started posting in spring '07.

Alternative energy, rather than Gold is the real reason I'm glad to be here though. Can a helpfull person point me in the direction of a good thread for a newbie, who thinks they are are going to throw a shed load of (additional!) incentives at that sector?
