From Finance To A New Career The eye of the storm in this global financial crisis is the finance sector. We’ve seen massive layoffs from major financial institutions since the crisis started. Money Magazine looks at former finance executives who, although spared from being laid off, chose to pursue a completely different career. They talk about the "transition" they've had to go through and why a background in business and finance comes in handy. Gold & Jewellery The price of gold has settled a bit after hitting an 11-month-high of more than US$1,000 an ounce. But analysts still see gold as a safe haven investment that should hit $1,100 an ounce later this year. Money Magazine also looks at other possible safe investments such as luxury jewellery, in particular diamonds, where prices also remain strong.
