An interesting poser for the forum , as a person who has no economic background I find I can learn a few things from the so called learned ones posts and insights into the world of finance regardless of which position they take on precious metals. I try to keep a simplistic approach to investment which is if it is cheap , undervalued and needed , buy it. Those of us that are riding the highs of pm's at the moment are blessed with having the foresight to go down that road whether it be luck or a calculated investment and those that reject that investment strategy and make their money elsewhere, good luck . I wish no misfortune on anyone who wants to improve their financial situation by taking a punt on the markets.
So here is my question , we are moving into uncharted territory on the world financial markets , negative interest rates , record debt , up and down equity markets , falling dividends , crypto currencies , cashless societies , rising socialist agendas , falling corporate bond yields , trade wars , currency crisis' to just name a few so where do we park our money to make a bob.
I call it the big squeeze , over inflated stock markets , property prices , compulsory super and appallingly low fixed term returns has encouraged people to take their old fashioned cash which used to earn 6 to 7% and provide a sustainable income , into these areas of managed investment funds that could vanish in a blink of an eye , is that their plan .
One does not throw all their eggs in one basket so I would be interested to hear other peoples investment strategies that are outside the norm , for example as well as pm's I find antiques and art work , or a speculative piece of rural dirt that has future potential for expanding populations a worthy investment in troubled times and other sources that generate income.
I am after genuine thoughts and opinions , not ridicule so don't bother printing it , I can arrange for the ridicule to be discussed in a dark alley in person if you wish.
