    I remember thinking last year that house prices were unlikely to rise. Then a whole load of new money appeared on the scene that went straight into shares, gold and property.

    I remember not long ago the pundits all telling us that oil would hit $200 a barrel within a few months when the price was close to $140 a barrel. Next stop was $30 a barrel.

    Nothing is a cert.

    WHS.

    Buy, buy, buy!

    Buy anything, just don't be the last one left holding some sterling anywhere.

    Last time I looked (only a couple of months ago) it was $960.

    I could have made a few quid at $1200

    Investors pour into Gold

    Investors looking for a safe haven are turning to gold.

    The price of gold soared past $1,200 an ounce on Wednesday, taking its gains for the year to 41 per cent.

    Experts say there are no signs the enthusiasm will end soon, citing the rise in gold prices as a reflection of external factors - such as inflationary fears - rather than of supply and demand fundamentals.
