Modern golden rush!

Nowadays the financial crisis daily hits frontpage news, people lose their confidence in the economy, panic and revert to precious metals.
A financial meltdown is predicted by analysts, but not on the market of precious metals where sales of e.g. Vienna Philharmonic gold have gone up more than 200% since last year. People are looking for a safe haven for their savings and think that investing in gold or other precious metals must be the right solution. Though the market of gold and other precious metals could collapse as well as the past has learnt us.
