          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.

              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

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

                  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.

                    I'd rather my investments beat inflation
