POLL: investing in late 2008 economy

cowbutt

I'm interested in what investment strategies others are using to try to protect, and hopefully grow savings with the mixed economy that we have in 2008.

After Monday's disastrous budget I'm sad to say that the best investment strategy for the current economy seems to be a one-way ticket to somewhere else.
As a retired person whose investments have dived and whose savings are becoming increasingly worthless in terms of the interest rate they can attract, I cannot visualise any investment medium which will bring a satisfactory return in the medium term economic climate.
THANK YOU GORDON BROWN.

Snap... I was gonna say put my £s in another currency & leave the country before they decide to directly plunder the private sectors savings accounts and hand the proceeds to public sector pensioners...
