'It is better to solve a problem at the beginning.' What a simple and lovely way of thinking that we could apply to solving the numerous environmental, social and economic problems we face today.

The global economic meltdown has forced people to drastically rethink their investments. I have heard it said by investment advisors that gold is a safe-haven for investors. Then suddenly its value drops inexplicably and another avenue is mooted as the place to invest at this time. CEO's are having to consider very carefully what they choose to invest their money in right now.
