After plunging by some 25% last year, the price of gold has turned around in 2014 and is handily beating what seems to be a nervous stock market. Money Talk host Owain Bennallack asks his Foolish colleagues Nate Weisshaar and Mark Rogers why the yellow metal has got its mojo back, and does that make gold miners a buy? They also weigh in on Davos, kick about Labour’s proposals to partially break up the banks, and suggest three shares worthy of further investigation.

Published Owain is a magpie of the investing world -- and not because he gets into a flap. Almost any style of investing might suit him, depending on the bigger picture, and he's held all sorts of companies. Paraphrasing Keynes, he says: “When the market changes, I change my mind -- what do you do?”
That said, Owain is usually a buyer of equities, where he prefers lightly geared, modestly rated companies, and is increasingly on the lookout for Buffett-style intangible quality. He aspires to buy-and-hold: his best investment ideas are worth much more than he sold them for. Then again, his worst investment went bust due to management fraud!
