      AlreadyPacked,

      you may as well change your name to AlreadyUnPacked, cos with a strategy like this you ain't going nowhere:

      'So far I have decided not to buy property until next year earliest.

      Two: not to move out of sterling until it recovers.'




      I fear anybody without property in the coming inflation will only live to see their cash eroded.


      All the best,

      Milan.

        This worries me too. So how the flip do you invest in something Far Eastern? Some kind of shares? Or Saudi may be better, or perhaps Canadian.

            I put what spare cash I had in a tracker when the FTSE was at 3500. Hopefully will be leaving it there until the FTSE is back at 7000 plus.

              If that doesn't happen soon, you won't even out-run inflation....

                I only move enough back to the uk to pay bills, the rest I keep in Euros or spend.

                  I plan to die owing a million quid and so don't worry about that kind of thing.

                    One unit trust fund I have invests only in China. There are UK brokers you can purchase them through which reduce the cost of buying/managing them.
