Made 8% in the last 8 weeks or so in the fund I went into. Boomed!

dirty speculant.

[Fred Bloggs]

Commercial property funds.

I know in theory it should be a bad idea, but it's the last place left for all that printed worthless money to go into.

That looks as close to sound financial advice you're going to get now

NO!!!!!!!! - I'm not allowed to do that. I can say no more.


Also, read what I wrote once again, this time a bit more closely.

Better to have loved and lost than never loved at all ... it also applies to wealth ... which I'm now looking forward to losing

Yeah, you should write loads of put options.

Gold

Put an advert in the papers that you will buy old gold for a fraction of its value. When you've got a few kg, have it refined into gold bars.

If it's income generation you're after - have a look at this Motley Fool article.

How about aussie or candaian dollar
they are pretty strong

The idea is to buy when it's weak...

Tempted, but as with assets, others have piled in before me long ago. I wouldn't be surprised if Ozzies think Sterling is cheap, and our women and houses too

I'm considering opening a Euro account, with e.g. Abbey or HSBC. Not specifically as a source of income, but as a safer haven than Sterling, although Euro's may not be much safer. I suppose money could be made by transferring between Sterling and foreign accounts before and after a Merv announcement.
