Mail on Sunday: How the Goldbugs are Investing

LONDON, 5 August 2012 - A longstanding UK user of BullionVault is today interviewed in the Financial Mail on Sunday, part of Britain's best-selling mid-market Sunday newspaper.

"I came into a small legacy in 2001," explains Ian Dunbar, a retired doctor, "but by then I had been nervous [about the financial markets] for some time.

"A frenzy of debt and consumerism, in which everyone believed they could own and do what they wanted, was bound to come unstuck...The crisis that we have had since 2007 has not changed that. If anything, the authorities seem to remain in arrogant denial, believing they can save their financial systems."

"Paper currencies used to be linked to stores of gold held by the central banks, which enforced some financial discipline," Dr.Dunbar goes on. "But today paper currency systems appear worthless. Gold on the other hand is immutable. It is the ultimate currency, as it has been for 6,000 years."

After first investing in gold-mining shares through a managed investment fund, he has since switched buying allocated physical bullion, held securely in professional vaults instead. "The biggest such service is Bullionvault.com, based in London," says the Mail on Sunday. It is also the service used by Dr.Dunbar.
