Let’s circle back to the lack of mobility Greeks and their money are dealing with right now.
Bloomberg News is reporting that Europeans have been buying gold — traditionally the safest of safe havens — at quite a clip this month.
The U.K. Royal Mint says sales of gold coins to Greeks was “double the five-month average in June.”
Private coin retailer CoinInvest.com says it’s sold out, and that it’s the French, Germans and Greeks who are buying.
The rest of the world … meh.
Gold closed up about 0.5 percent today in New York.
