http://www.moneyweek.com/news-and-charts/economics/global/moneyweek-roundup-saturday-17-december-2011-56816 Invested money in a different asset rather than keeping it under the bed. Thats cheating.

Yep.

After selling her house in London 20% before peak, in an area that didn't crash.

She then bought back into Edinburgh, in an area she didn't really want, at close to peak price.

And now it seems she sold her gold after prices crashed by 20%.

So if you follow what they do, as opposed to what they say, you'd be selling gold and buying houses.
