Where to stick my "war fund"

[DimPrawn]

Shortly (after disposing of some property) I am going to have around £500,000 floating around ready for the coming property slump.

Now I need to stash this cash in the most tax efficient, safe and productive manner.

I already have maxed out on premium bonds and ISA's, same for the other half.

Any suggestions on where this money should live, bearing the £30K FSA limit if any one financial sheister bank goes tits up?

Looking foreward to some great suggestions.

Emerging markets?

Donate the war fund to that ex vietnam vet that's about to become the most powerful man in the world. He'll help you spend it wisely.

Emerging markets?

Is that as safe as a bank account?

I'd be a bit upset if I get out less than I put in.

Just stick it on a BACS to:

99-67-90
56895435

I'll look after it for you.

Wise decision DP.

US stocks.....the dollar is going to recover. Some emerging market stuff as well. Check out Gazprom, they haven't gone up much in spite of the world running out of oil. Look good. Comodities will correct but mining stocks look good longterm. Also Engineering companies that build oil wells.

Have it changed into penny's rendering it pretty much unstealable. Then melt the penny's down into copper pipes; probably double your money by selling the copper!

There may not be enough pennys in your area to do this so I suggest selling the copper to the royal mint; rinse and repeat!
