In the past year the price of gold has been at record highs. Why this encourages scared people to buy is beyond me
Because people are heavily influenced by the "panic! panic!" media nowadays.
Supposedly things would "never be the same again" after September 11 and the industry for comedy would collapse. Then we were meant to be dying of avian flu.. and then swine flu. And then the economy was meant to collapse some time in 2009. And then.. oh yeah.
