Good point Mark.
Last year I was kicking myself for buying an Insurance in my home country
Austria (works like a Unit Trust but you can't exit until a certain date if
you want more than your original investment). It will be still running for
the next 12 years and is returning the current interest rate + 1% pa which
have to be reinvested. I thought better playing safe and being then paid out
in Euro does not seem too bad.

Now it all seems like a good idea again. I have learnt that putting part of
your money into a stable and safe trust gives me a safe deeling when equity
markets crash.

Regards,
Christian

Subject: [sharechat] Investment Portfolio Theory


That much touted concept of time in the market - I suspect that it now has
to be looked at askance. I wonder what other revisions of portfolio theory
need to be re-examined.

The world markets are crumbling even further today - its down, down, down.

I can't see them getting back to where they were 2 years ago in the next 10
years?

Serious stuff. Thank god I got 'most' of my money out to build the house,
before the real rot has set in.
